Billy Mills
Olympic Champion Billy Mills is an Oglala Lakota (Sioux) born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Orphaned at the age of 12, he chose running as a positive focus in his life. After thousands of miles of training, Billy became the first and only American to win a gold medal in the 10,000 meter race in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. Setting an Olympic record of 28 minutes 24.4 seconds, Billy's accomplishment remains a great source of pride to American Indian people.
