Episode 6. Jordan Marie-Daniel: Indigenous Sovereignty, Reclamation, And Running In Prayer
Jordan Marie Daniel Brings Three White Horses is a runner and an activist with a heart for the people. She is the founder of Rising Hearts, which is an indigenous grassroots led group that advocates for justice and creates incredible educational resources. Jordan has run in prayer, with a red hand-print painted across her face to raise awareness of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIW + MMIWG), on many occasions and her running has brought attention to the cause. The hand print symbolizes the voices that have been silenced by violence of the crisis. We speak with her about her journey to use her whole body to raise awareness and her hopes to unite people across differences.
