Wisdom Walkers

Wisdom Walkers is an elder wellness program designed to initiate and sustain activity among Native American elders. Exercise classes are held regularly at the Chickasaw Nation Senior Centers. Program includes many fitness activities, such as Tai Chi, line dancing, chair exercises, water aerobics, golfing, fishing, bowling and Nintendo Wii sports tournaments. Each senior center also has a treadmill and may have other exercise equipment.

The Chickasaw Nation considers its elders “living treasures” and works hard to provide for them the best service and care possible. The tribe remains devoted to the health and well-being of its elders by offering programs and services which are focused on all aspects of their lives.
