Albert Campbell (17 April 1894 – 30 November 1961) was a French-Cree (Métis) Canadian musher and trapper.
He gained popularity as a Canadian "national hero" after winning the 1917 Red River Derby sled dog race.
[2] His younger brother Gabriel, who also competed in the race, finished in fourth place.
The 1994 Disney film Iron Will, is based on Campbell's American competitor in the 1917 race, Fred Hartman, although the fictionalized protagonist features some elements of Campbell's story (for example, the death of his father shortly before winning the race).
The film features two Native American racers, but depicts them coming in second and third places.
