“It’s the first time I ran for anyone other than myself. … This is the first time I’ve ever made a scene and not been apologetic.” -Rosalie Fish

Thank you for being who you are, so young but out there making a stand. I watched the race, that was AWESOME! I am so proud of you. May the higher power keep you in his hands forever. Keep your chin up and your shoulders back. You are one strong Native girl.
