"While she found runners, she didn’t see any that looked like her. 'I did research on apparel, brands, ads — and there were far and few native runners,' recalls Volker. 'I was following Native Runners, though there wasn’t anything elevating native women and people like me and because I didn’t see myself in running, I wanted to create a space for people to see themselves,' she adds. It was 2018 when she launched the organization. Today, she says: 'I am incredibly grateful for how far it’s come — I never realized it would be what it is today.'”
