We want to send out the biggest congratulations to the entire Paddle Tribal Waters team at who just completed the first source to sea descent of the Klamath River post-dam removal!!!

This is hands down the coolest thing to ever happen in the sport of whitewater kayaking, and we are so extremely impressed with all of your determination to make it to the ocean. We loved watching the videos come out each day from the media team because we can relate so much to the frustrations in the flat water and the exhaustion from continuing to paddle day after day.

If you haven’t heard about their journey, click the link in our bio! and Keeya Wiki speak about the significance of the dam removal in words that are well beyond their years. We couldn’t be more impressed by these youth and their incredible journey.

Hats off to everyone who helped make this happen. We are so proud!!!

This is how we feel about the Trump Administration’s decision to terminate the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement.

This agreement was a Tribal-led effort to restore salmon in the PNW and modernize our energy system. The decision to pull out of this agreement is going to have devastating impacts on the already threatened and endangered salmon populations of the Snake River Basin, and will severely impact our ability to uphold Tribal Treaties in the region.

If you’re not already doing so, please follow to keep up with the fight to save these salmon populations from extinction! These organizations need your support now more than ever.

Has anyone out there been DYING to let the State of Washington know why the lower Snake River should run free??

🔥 SO HAVE WE, AND NOW'S THE TIME! 🔥

There's a survey out right now, and the State of WA needs input.

If you've seen the Grand Salmon and feel inspired to speak up on the river's behalf, if you hope to paddle the lower Snake yourself someday, and ESPECIALLY if you've been there already, please share your thoughts!

A free-flowing lower Snake would mean access to incredible, restored whitewater in a stunning canyon. It would allow for the restoration of Tribal cultural sites that were wrongfully inundated. AND, of course, it would help protect salmon and other migratory fish that are on the brink of extinction.

Our friends have some great guidance for filling out your survey, so make sure to follow them and check out their post for details!

10-15 minutes of your time could help free the Snake.

THANK YOU!!
