Poland is so far away from America, but I found a connection. I'd like to present to you one brave man. He was half Polish, half Native American...

Sat-Okh

Sat Okh ("Long Feather"), also known as Stanisław Supłatowicz (April 15, 1920 in Canada – July 3, 2003 in Gdańsk) was a Polish-Shawnee Canadian who became a soldier in the Polish Resistance during World War II. After the war and imprisonment by the Communist government, he worked as a sailor and published several novels in Polish.

Early life and education

Sat Okh was born to a Polish immigrant mother, Stanisława Supłatowicz, and a Shawnee father, Leoo-Karko-Ono-Ma (Tall Eagle), who was chief of the tribe. He was raised near the Mackenzie River in the North-Western Territory of Canada, and was educated in tracking, hunting, and living with nature.

Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, at the age of 16-17, Sat Okh travelled with his mother to Poland, where she wanted to see her family. In 1940, after the German conquest of Poland, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned for over eight months.

He was then sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp but escaped from the transport train. He joined Armia Krajowa, a major part of the Polish resistance. He was called Kozak (Cossack). During his underground military service, Sat Okh received the Krzyż Walecznych for bravery.

In 1945 the newly established Polish Communist government forced Sat Okh to take a Polish name. He took the masculinized form of his mother's name, "Stanisław Supłatowicz". After the war, in 1945 Supłatowicz was arrested and sentenced by the Polish Communist regime for having fought with the resistance Armia Krajowa.

After being released from prison, he worked as a sailor. Over a 40-year period, he published several novels in Polish related to his First Nations/American Indian heritage.
