Episode 35 : Rosalie Fish
“As a Native American we’re born into politics. My life and my existence is political. I want native voices to succeed and be heard and that’s always deemed political by other people. I’m used to having to fight.”
Rosalie Fish appeared on ESPN and new stations globally when at her High school State Championship track meet last Spring she ran with a red handprint on her face and MMIW on her leg to bring awareness to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic. In the US and Canada, women in indigenous communities are silenced when there is a rape, when there is abuse, and police often ignore reports when indigenous women go missing. I’m honored to have Rosalie, a young woman of the Muckleshoot Tribe, on this episode of the Powerful Ladies Podcast and to provide her a platform to share her story and the story of her tribe.
Aside from her high school graduation photo, all others from various sources with click through links on each photo to original source.
