Snake Eater (lacrosse)

Snake Eater was a First Nations lacrosse player who represented Canada at the 1904 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the Mohawk Indians team, which finished third in the lacrosse tournament and won the bronze medal. Olympedia notes that some sources list the side as an Iroquois team, since the Mohawk were one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee confederacy, and that the players apparently came from the area around Brantford, Ontario. Nothing is known of his life beyond the Games: Olympedia records that an Anglicized name, Frank Seneca, has been found for him, but that any wider biography can only be speculative. He is catalogued here as an Olympic lacrosse medalist.
