Everyday is Indigenous Peoples’ Day🤎🪶

We had the amazing honor to host the 4th annual IPD PHX Fest Run and Walk with @cahokiaphx @ovah_hillcreations.official and @azcenterphx
It was such a beautiful experience of native pride and strength. I could not help but see how much we shine and bring so much joy to every space we fill. I know this is how our ancestors survived so much, because when we get together nothing stops the laughter, connection and shared love. It was so great to meet so many new runners and finally meet others in person. The running community is so special.
It’s was so great combine a group run with so many indigenous arts and crafts. As our runners picked up bibs and got ready to run we were surrounded by Apache crown dancers and Aztec dancers. It elevated our community movement to another level of indigenous resilience and power.
We had such an awesome event!! Thank you for supporting and participating!

Huge shout out to @tortoiseandharesquad and @altrarunning for supporting, providing and volunteering. We had the coolest bibs, shirts, medals, awards and (soon) photos with their help! Thank you @moccasinrunning for your yearly help! And @native_women_run for sharing our event. And the biggest thank you to my sole sisters and family. We can’t do this without them. Love you!!
