Red Fox James

Red Fox James, also known as Red Fox Skiuhushu, was a Native American, presumed to be from the Blackfoot Tribe of Montana, and is best known for riding over 4,000 miles on horseback from state to state seeking approval for a day to honor Native Americans. On December 14, 1915, he presented the endorsements of 24 state governments at the White House.

Red Fox was an active member of the Society of American Indians and was the Most High Chief of the Tipi Order of America. He was also the first to organize the Indian Boy Scouts in America, at the United States Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

By 1920, Red Fox was the Head Chief of the American Indian Tepee Christian Mission, a cooperative of the American Christian Missionary Society.
