Canadian marathoner Tom Longboat would have turned 131 on Monday, prompting a Google Doodle to celebrate his lifetime of accomplishment.

The Onondaga Nation member was born in 1887 on Six Nations Reserve, near Brantford, Ontario. He began racing as a teenager after being inspired by Bill Davis, a First Nations runner who took second place in the 1901 Boston Marathon. Longboat soon eclipsed Davis' result by coming first in the Boston Marathon in 1907.
