Jordan Marie is a runner, fourth generation Native American runner. She is Lakota Sioux and was born in Brule, South Dakota. AS a child her family moved to Maine. She took up running in honor too her ancestors, and was introduced by her grandfather.
She uses her running as a platform for advocacy. In the Boston Marathon of 2019 she brought attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). aShe did this by painting a hand over her mouth which is the symbol of this organization.
I have taken information from Notable Native People by Adrienne Keene and Wikipedia and her own website.
