Native American athlete and activist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosalie Fish is a Native American runner, member of the Cowlitz Tribe, former student athlete at Iowa Central Community College, currently studying and running for 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]
Rosalie Fish won 2 National Junior College Athletic Association championship titles and earned 11-All-American awards as a college distance runner. Fish helped her team win 2023 Pac-12 Conference Cross Country Championships, 3rd place at the 2021 NJCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, win 2020 NJCAA Region XI Championships, place 2nd at the 2020 NJCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, and win 2019 NJCAA Division I Cross Country Championships.
