About this episode
In honor of Native American Heritage Day, we are re-running this episode, which originally aired November 26, 2021.
Gain a deeper understanding of Native American runners in this installment of our Run in Her Shoes series, featuring two Indigenous women runners, including Verna Volker, founder of Native Women Running. With Coach Liz as co-host, the guests explain:
-the prayerful nature of running for Native Americans;
-how being a morning runner is especially profound to a member of the Navajo Nation;
-the mission to bring light to cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women;
-how race organizers and participants can go beyond land acknowledgments; and,
-the sense one runner has of her ancestors watching out for her as she runs in nature.
Social Sarah shares details about producer Alex’s beautiful (2021) wedding before the first guest joins at 10:00.
