The biennial gathering of amateur senior athletes is setting aside a day to celebrate the many Native American athletes who participate. Participants compete in 20 events from swimming to shuffleboard. The National Senior Games originated as an effort to promote a healthy lifestyle for elders over 50. This year’s games are in Albuquerque New Mexico. We’ll be live at the games with a discussion centered around active and healthy elders.
Guests:
Larry Curley (Navajo)- executive director for the National Indian Council on Aging.
Marc Riker – Chief Executive Officer for the National Senior Games Association.
Simeon Gipson (Cherokee/Choctaw) – athlete from Tahlequah Oklahoma.
