First drawn to the sport for health benefits, athlete Rosalie Fish hit her stride advocating for missing and murdered Indigenous women and two-spirit people.

Rosalie Fish is best known for the red handprint often painted on her face. First a runner in high school and now a collegiate athlete at the University of Washington, Fish runs with the handprint to bring visibility to the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Two-Spirit people. 

It is a cause that is centuries old and very near to her as a member of the Cowlitz Tribe who grew up on the Muckleshoot reservation.

For this episode of the Out & Back podcast, she talks to host Alison Mariella [Désir](https://crosscut.com/author/alison-mariella-desir?ref=cascadepbs.org) about how she turned her love of running into activism. 

She also takes [Désir](https://crosscut.com/author/alison-mariella-desir?ref=cascadepbs.org) along for one of her other favorite outdoor activities, a canoe paddle on Elliott Bay with her Muckleshoot family.
