It depends on whether you are traveling by plane or by car. If traveling by airplane, all US citizens are required to show a valid US passport. For more information, check the links below (Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and US Customs sites) yes
Children under 15 can travel to Canada, using a birth certificate, as long as they are NOT flying. If flying, they would need a Passport.
This is from the Canada website I viewed on 7/2/08. I too am from Detroit. "If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver's License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport. Children under sixteen need only present proof of U.S. citizenship."

Your friend cannot travel across international borders if she does not have adequate documentation. First of all, a birth certificate will not help you get across an international border. If she does not have a passport, US passport card, "enhanced" drivers license or "enhanced" non-driver ID, then she will not be permitted to enter Canada.
Since the mother herself was born in Canada, the child is eligible for Canadian citizenship. You should contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate general to apply for a certificate of Canadian citizenship. In the meantime, the child still can enter to Canada using his/her American passport or birth certificate (birth certificate can be used instead of a passport only if he or she is under 15).
The drive between Oregon and Alaska entails crossing the international border between Canada and the United States. U.S. citizens do not require a passport to enter Canada, but it is the preferred form of identification. To enter into Canada, U.S. citizens require proof of U.S. citizenship. This can be: a passport, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, U.S. Permanent Resident Card, or a Certificate of Indian Status along with photo identification.
No. A birth certificate is not valid for international travel. A US citizen can enter Canada by air only with a passport. By land or sea, you can enter with a US passport card, "enhanced" drivers license, or "enhanced" non-driver ID.
