Episode Description

A group of Native American youth recently completed the first full descent of the Klamath River since the four largest dams on the river were removed last fall. Kayakers traveled more than 300 miles over 30 days on the source-to-sea trip, which was organized by the Paddle Tribal Waters program.


Julian Rogers and Kiahna Allen both participated in the trip. They join us to share more about their experience.
