September 1, 2012 - Chickasaw Nation Riversports Program

Chickasaw Nation News

The Chickasaw Nation launched this program in 2011 to introduce Chickasaw youth to riversports, including canoeing and kayaking. The young athletes train year round at Oklahoma City's Devon Boathouse on the Oklahoma River, and have set the standard for many non-Chickasaws who participate in similar programs. The program has produced Chickasaw medalists in several riversport competitions and helps the youth achieve goals through hard work and dedication.
