Sat-Okh (c.
1920 – July 3, 2003), also known as Stanislaw Suplatowicz, was a soldier in the Polish Resistance during World War II.
Purportedly born in Northwest Territories, Canada, he later published autobiographical children's books under the name Sat-Okh.
These were translated into several European languages. He claimed to be Polish-Shawnee and to have grown up in Canada among First Nations people.
His mother was Polish and returned with him to Poland before World War II.
In the postwar years, he became an important figure in the Polish "indianist" movement.
There has been considerable controversy as to whether his accounts were a hoax, as his books reflect culture and customs not associated with the peoples of the Northwest Territories.
