Making goals with disabled Native athletes
As the 2024 Paralympic Games wrap up in Paris, France, Native America Calling will get a glimpse into the world of competition for disabled Native athletes.
Dozens of Indigenous athletes competed in the Games in Paris. And while the big production in France is always something to shoot for, para-athletics isn’t just for elite competitors.
They are also an everyday recreational and creative outlet with built-in social and health benefits.
