Joseph Pappio (October 1, 1902 – August 22, 1971), a Chippewa Indian, was a professional football player in the National Football League during the 1923 season. That season, he joined the NFL's Oorang Indians, a team based in LaRue, Ohio, composed only of Native Americans, and coached by Jim Thorpe. In 1924, Pappio played football for the Hominy Indians, an independent team from Hominy, Oklahoma, that too was composed entirely of Native Americans. In 1927 the Indians defeated the 1927 NFL champions, the New York Giants, 13–6. There are film records of Pappio hitting linemen so hard THEIR HELMETS WOULD FLY OFF THEIR HEADS, allowing the teams’ running back to make huge gains. ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101006222927/http://profootballresearchers.org/Coffin_Corner/14-05-482.pdf</ref> In 1930, Pappio returned to the NFL to play the 1930 season with the Chicago Cardinals. Pappio attended and played college football at the Haskell Indian Nations University.
