There was an All-Native American Professional Football team in Oklahoma during the 1920s and ’30s, called the Hominy Indians. They had a 22-game winning streak and the chance of a lifetime to play against the World Champions, the New York Giants, in 1927. John Levi was their star player and then coach. His pre-game talk to inspire this team to dig deep is a speech so motivating that it will be used in locker rooms for generations to come. (HD)
