Monday I ran #Boston126 on the 50th anniversary of women running the Boston Marathon. Because this is a once in a lifetime event for me (I'm a trail runner at heart!), I dedicated my run to highlighting examples of #landback. 🧵 Each mile was dedicated to a tribal nation who has fought, purchased or gifted their land back, written out on the back of my shirt. This is by no means an exhaustive list and did not include federal land trust cases (didn't want to make this too complicated).

So, last weekend, I celebrated the completion of my Ph.D. and being in the #ClassofCovid by doing a 50-mile honor run, dedicating each mile to a different Indigenous scientist who has inspired me!

It was also an opportunity to raise $$ for the @AISES T3 fund, which provides financial assistance to students whose education has been impacted by COVID19.

Many people have asked who is on this list, so I thought I'd share--some are on Twitter, some not!

Here we go:

Today is the 72th anniversary of Indigenous peoples right to vote in Arizona ✊🏽

Though Arizona was one of the first states to ratify women’s suffrage (1912 and 1920), this did not apply to Indigenous women. Native Americans did not become citizens in Arizona until 1924, and were not allowed to vote in Arizona until 1948 when the Arizona Supreme Court overturned a long standing ban on Indian voting.
