who we are

Founded by a Champion, Built for a Community

A world where every Native American with a disability has access to adaptive sports, recreation, and the sense of empowerment that comes with athletic achievement.

Tribal Adaptive was founded in 2015 by Noah Blue Elk Hotchkiss — a Navajo-Lakota athlete paralyzed at age 11 who went on to become a National Champion adaptive skier, First Team All-American wheelchair basketball player at the University of Illinois, and adaptive sports professional with the Chicago Park District.

Co-founded with Olympic legend Billy Mills, Tribal Adaptive grew from one athlete's personal journey into the only national organization exclusively focused on providing adaptive sports access to Native American communities.

Based in Kirtland, NM in the heart of the Four Corners, Tribal Adaptive now operates a residential high-performance training campus — the AWH House — and the ThunderBirds, Indian Country's first competitive para-sports club.
