The Hominy Indians were a professional American football team founded and financed by Otto and Ira Hamilton in Hominy, Oklahoma during the 1920s and 1930s.[1] Native American players represented twenty-two different tribes. They played regionally and traveled across the country. In 1925, they were named State Champions. On December 26, 1927, the team beat the World Champions New York Giants.[2] Their last season was 1936. [3]
A docu-drama titled "Playground of The Native Son" went into production in the winter of 2012 in Oklahoma and was released in 2013. Celia Xavier, owner of Fully Funded Films, was executive producer and co-directed with Michael P Nash. Adam Beach starred in and narrated the film.[4] A subsequent feature film is in pre-production currently based on the Hominy Indians Football team.
