FAQ

Step One: Decide on your attendance
Your decision to attend is indeed an honor to your community and our program. Participants must submit their registration as soon as possible. Our San Diego programs fill quickly. We accept a small group of no more than 20 participants. It is important we confirm our participants’ placement. We are available to assist you with questions and with groups of 3 or more. Contact us: tribalrelations@gmail.com

Step Two: Get your correct documentation together
Complete and return the registration form ASAP along with the non-refundable deposit of $100. Once we receive your registration and deposit, we will notify you of your acceptance into the program.  A confirmation packet and program details will be sent to you following receipt of your registration.

Step Three: Raise funds for the trip
There is a cost to participants, family or community as there is currently no sponsors for this program. Each participant is required to raise $450 to cover the program fee. This applies for students who submit their registration deposit by June 25, 2009.  Program fee for registrations received after July 15, 2009 is $500. 
Formal or informal requests to family members, community members, or Tribal Councils are the first place to start. Please use your formal letter of acceptance as your proof of privileged participation.  If after making a sincere effort, you are struggling with this, please contact us ASAP. You have come a long way already; and we have faith that you can do anything. We want to help.

Step Four: Confirmation
Confirmation of your attendance is needed before June 25, 2009.  At this time, you would need to have provided a non-refundable deposit of US $100. If for some reason, you choose not to attend after making your final payment, you will be given travel credit (less the $100 non-refundable deposit) with ITY to be used within one year.  There will be another opportunity for you.  Transportation to/from San Diego is not included in the Program Fee.
