Life of a Dog on the Rez
"El Presidente!" - My Interview with Birdie Wermy.
Today we journey outside the Pueblo realm and head to Oklahoma by way of Tualatin, Oregon. I had the pleasure of having a wonderful conversation with another funny and inspirational Indigenous runner, mother, adventurer, and all-around amazing person; Birdie. Come journey with me through her upbringing in the Pacific Northwest, growing up, as she puts it “an urban Indian”, her college athletic career, family, struggle, loss, and finally finding her purpose through running. Sit back, relax, make another spam and roasted green chili on fresh tortilla sandwich with a yellow hot on the side, for good measure and enjoy my conversation with Birdie.
Below are links to the organizations that are dear to Birdie's heart.
