The Páah Áama Paddle Club has been awarded a $60,000 grant from the First Nations Development Institute to support Native youth participating in the Paddle Tribal Waters program. This initiative will involve the first-ever descent of the newly undammed Klamath River, set for June 12–July 12, 2025. The grant will fund skill-building, leadership training, and cultural celebrations, empowering Indigenous youth to become advocates for healthy rivers. The event also marks a significant milestone in the fight for the Klamath’s restoration.
