DeutschRosalie Fish
Rosalie Fish is a Native American runner, member of the Cowlitz Tribe, former student athlete at Iowa Central Community College and the University of Washington.[1] As a senior at Muckleshoot Tribal School,[2][3] Fish made international headlines when she painted a red handprint over her mouth, the fingers extending across her cheeks to honor the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women.[4] Rosalie Fish has also been a featured speaker for Tedx Talks.[5]
Fish dedicated her performance at the 2019 Washington State 1B track and field championships track meet to murdered and missing indigenous women (MMIW).[6] At the meet, Fish wore a painted red handprint over her mouth; as well, the letters MMIW written on her leg.[4] Fish was inspired by Jordan Marie Daniel, a citizen of the Kul Wicasa Oyate/Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota. Daniel first wore a hand print across her face during the Boston Marathon in April 2019.[7]
