Native Bidaské with Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills (Oglala Sioux)
Join Native News Online Editor Levi Rickert as he interviews legendary Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills (Oglala Sioux) for this week’s Native Bidaské (Spotlight).
During the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Mills won Olympic gold in the 10,000-meter race. His win is considered one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history. He remains the only American ever to win the event.
In recent years, Mills has raised millions of dollars to assist Native American youth through the Running Strong for American Indian Youth organization, a non-profit organization he founded.
Through the decades, Mills has remained a hero throughout Indian Country. Rickert will discuss with Mills how he triumphed over obstacles he had during his life.
