Wallace "Mad Bear" Anderson (November 9, 1927 – December 10, 1985) was a Tuscarora activist predominantly active in the 1950s who became a spokesman for tribal sovereignty.

Anderson became an activist for American Indians Rights after being rejected for a loan under the GI Bill to build a house on the Tuscarora reservation.

Several hundred Akwesasne Mohawks marched to the Massena, New York courthouse to burn court summons that were issued for unpaid taxes.

[1] In March 1959, Anderson helped to lead a revolt and declaration of sovereignty at the Six Nations Reserve in Brantford, Ontario, the borough founded by Joseph Brant.

Following this declaration, twelve Royal Canadian Mounted Police entered the reserve's council house, but the Iroquois forced them out.
