Spotted Tail (lacrosse)

Spotted Tail, born in 1883 with no recorded date of death, was a First Nations lacrosse player who competed for Canada at the 1904 Summer Olympics, held in St. Louis. He was a member of the Mohawk Indians Lacrosse Team, the side that took part in the men's team lacrosse tournament at those Games and won the bronze medal there. His Olympic appearance is the part of his life that the available references document: the Wikipedia article cites Olympedia for his record and lists a Sports Reference profile and Bill Mallon's compilation of 1904 Olympic results among its further reading. Nothing beyond his birth year, his team, his sport and his bronze medal result is established in the sources consulted, so this entry records only those facts and does not guess at his later life, his playing career outside the Games or his death.
