    Could be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Dietz Photo looks a possible match. He played football for the Carlisle Industrial School, but there seems to have been some controversy over whether he was really an American Indian. He was known as Lone Star Dietz. From Wikipedia, "In spring 1933, George Preston Marshall, owner of the Boston Braves, hired Dietz to replace Coach Lud Wray. Marshall then came up with a new name: the “Boston Redskins.” In 1937, the team moved to Washington, D.C."

    Kwong Sue Duk (1853-1929): His Life and Family in Australia + Kwong Sue Duk was a prosperous and generous Chinese gentleman who had four wives and twenty-four children and made Australia his chosen home, during and after the nineteenth-century northern Australian gold rush period. + Kwong Sue Duk was born in Guangdong Province, China, in 1853 and ventured abroad to the California goldfields at an early age to seek his fortune. After several years, he earned enough money for his family and passage home to Taishan, China, then embarked on education in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1874, Kwong Sue Duk married his first wife, Gee An Gow. + In 1875, after the birth of his first son (Kong Sing), Kwong soon heard of the gold rush of Australia and took a ship to Cooktown, North Queensland. He made several trips home to China and in 1879 a daughter (Jon Gee) was born. In 1882, Kwong arrived in the prospering township of Southport in the Northern Territory, where he eventually established a successful general trade store and real estate enterprise, operating under his business name, Sun Mow Loong. He became well respected and influential amongst the Chinese and European communities and was consulted over many matters concerning the Chinese. + In 1884, Kwong Sue Duk married his second wife, Chun Ngor Gwei, and obtained his naturalization certificate in Australia. Kwong moved to Palmerston (early Darwin) and in March 1887 he met and married his third wife, Yuen Yuk Lau. He returned to China and another daughter (Toy Mee) was born to his first wife. Not long after the birth, he traveled back to Australia to tend to his thriving businesses and to buy a number of rental properties. In 1888, Kwong's third wife gave birth to a daughter, Ly Kin. + He returned to China in 1889 and subsequently brought out his first wife and three children to Palmerston, where she later bore him another daughter (Sum Gwai). Kwong and his three wives lived in harmony and supported the family together. Over the next twelve years, eleven more children were born - Thomas, Edward, Leslie, Elsie, Fred, Lim, Maizie, William, Kathleen, Mary, and Lily. By 1902, there were sixteen Kwong children. Kwong prospered well in the remote Northern Territory, purchasing rental properties and at least five large gold mining leases.
