Long Lance, the 1928 thrilling first-person account of Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, was the work of Sylvester Long, an African-American who conned the literary world into believing he was a Cherokee, and then a Cree. While the ruse lasted, Buffalo Child Long Lance was a hit on the lecture circuit and one of the darlings of New York society. His spree ended when the truth about his background was exposed in 1930, and he killed himself with a shot to the head in 1931.
This is from the Snopes article debunking the myth that Iron Eyes Cody was an Indian. Long Lance was another pretend Indian. Had to post it here cuz, Long Lance is just a great gay porno name.
