Muscogee Ancestral Paddle Reclaims Ocmulgee River Homeland

Georgia Rivers staff assisted citizens of the Muscogee Nation with an historic paddle down the Ocmulgee River Sept. 13.

The Muscogee Ancestral Paddle was an effort to reclaim an important part of the Nation’s homeland. Paddle Georgia Coordinator Joe Cook reports on the journey down river.
