The Tulalip Tribes of Washington won't be developing a travel identification card, The Everett Herald reports.

Tribal leaders had expressed interest in creating an enhanced card that complies with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. The paper did not say why they reconsidered.

So far, only the Seneca Nation of New York and the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho have signed formal agreements with the Department of Homeland Security to develop ID cards. The Blackfeet Nation of Montana hopes to develop one.

For now, tribal members can still present tribal ID cards at the border but DHS says the practice will be ended sometime in the future.
