White Wolf, the Oldest Native American
White Wolf of the Chippewa tribe was reportedly born in 1785 and died in 1922. This made him 137 years old. He was officially named Chief John Smith, but preferred to go by the name White Wolf. Although his exact age has never been determined, if he did die at 137, this would make him the oldest Native American to have ever lived. One thing that can be confirmed is that he was one of the most photographed Chippewa tribal members.
