life and career
Black Eagle - like his teammates from the Brantford area and probably a Mohawk , but possibly also an Iroquois - competed with the Mohawk Indians of Canada at the Olympic Games as the second Canadian team alongside the Winnipeg Shamrocks . The point could not prevent a defeat in the only game against the team of the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association and won the bronze medal in the end.
