Tom Longboat and Tarzan Brown, Deerfoot... They were road runners however.
Lewis Tewanima, a teammate of Thorpe's, was the 1912 Silver Medalist in the 10000 meters.

Of our 10000m medallists two of the three have been Native American (Mills being Ogala Sioux, and Tewanima being Hopi)
not indians.
mills & thorpe are half-breeds.
those 2 are about as indian as Benjamin Mileikowsky is an Ancient Israeli ;-)
