Remember this name

We have a great tradition of Native-Americans: Jim Wahnee and Andy Sixkiller in the mid-60's.

I think both might have been originally from Oklahoma Indian Country.

Sixkiller probably should have been an All-American. I would guess both were Cherokee but just guessing.

There might have others, but can't think of any. I think a lot of people from the South had some Indian heritage along the way.
EDIT: Wahnee was a Comanche, not Cherokee.

He's my sons close friend and my good buddy's kid. He's 6'4 260 at the age of 16. He's the starting left guard for Chaminade. He' sent me a video of him pancaking Ruben Hypolite. He absolutely destroys him. He also went up against Hypolites 4 star teammate (forgot the name) and held his own and then some. Kids is going to be recruited by everyone. He's half Indian. Dad is a huge Oklahoma fan and played ball for Oklahoma St. He hangs out with the UM recruits from his team at Dania pier fishing all the time.

Good stuff.
 
What is the Amazon, Alex?

I'll take names that sound like rivers for 1000, please.
