William Mervin Mills
(born June 30, 1938),
also known as Tamakoce Te'Hila,
is an Oglala Lakota former track and field athlete who won a gold medal in the 10,000 meter run (6.2 mi) at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

His 1964 victory is considered one of the greatest Olympic upsets because he was a virtual unknown going into the event.

He was the first non-European to win the Olympic event and remains the only winner from the Americas.

A United States Marine, Billy Mills is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
