We are happy to welcome Jordan Marie Daniel to the show! Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel – Kul Wičasa Lakota, a citizen of Kul Wicasa Oyate (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe) as well as a passionate and devoted advocate for Indian Country and all people.  

She is a pro runner with Rabbit and Altra Running Team Elite for marathon and trail. Jordan is the founder and organizer of Rising Hearts, an Indigenous led grassroots group devoted to elevating Indigenous voices and promoting intersectional collaborative efforts across all movements with the goals of racial, social, climate, and economic justice. Currently, she is using her running platform, to help raise awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives by dedicating the miles she runs to a missing or murdered Indigenous person, #RunningForJustice and is now intersecting this effort and prayers for Black lives, Asian lives, and other lives impacted by white supremacy and systems of oppression, and calling an end to police brutality.


We talk about many topics with Jordan about her personal and cultural connecting to running, how she leverages running to bring awareness to support Indigenous people and running in the hilly trails of LA.
