Jerome Tiger (1941-1967) was a full blood Creek-Seminole Native American, born in in Oklahoma, and grew up on the campgrounds that surrounded his grandfather's Indian Baptist church near Eufaula. He attended public schools in Eufala and Muskogee, learned English, and became familiar with such marvels of white culture as running water, indoor toilets, and telephones. He was a high school dropout, a street and ring fighter, and a laborer. He married and had three children. He died in 1967, at the age of twenty-six, of a gunshot wound. He left behind a legacy of exquisite beauty.
