Devin Reuben is training to be the first certified nimiipuu whitewater guide of his generation. The nimiipuu (Nez Perce) have a long history with river travel– in fact, they introduced the practice to settlers– but centuries of displacement means Tribal members are now largely absent from their ancestral rivers. Devin and his family are on a mission to change that.
