E28 Honoring the Past, Connecting the Future: Celebrating 50 Years of the CIVA

New Episode!

Episode 28 of Nʉmʉ Tekwarʉ: The Comanche Talk Podcast takes us inside the history and heart of the Comanche Indian Veterans Association as CIVA celebrates 50 years.

Commander Dr. Thomas Boyt, Vice Commander Kevin Pohawpatchoko, and 2026-2027 CIVA Princess Aalynn Codopony join us for a conversation about military service, Comanche warrior traditions, the history of CIVA, supporting veterans and their families, and so much more.

We also welcome a very special guest from Normandy, France. Ste'phane Jacquet joins us to talk about the long-standing relationship between CIVA and the community of Tilly-sur-Seulles, and the importance of preserving the memory of Comanche veterans and Code Talkers overseas.

This episode is filled with history, personal stories, community service, and a powerful reminder of why these traditions matter.
