He is commonly known by his pseudonym, Chief Henry Red Eagle. Perley's family roots can be traced back to the Maliseet Reservation in Tobique, New Brunswick, Canada. His parents were known as Canadian Malecites ( Algonquian-speaking First Nation of the Wabanaki Confederacy ), who migrated due to lack of game in the 1870s. Perley became the youngest licensed guide in the state of Maine at the age of 14. He attended Greenville High School, and during that time earned money by making snowshoes and working in lumber yards. He was not only the first full-blooded American Indian to graduate from Greenville High School, but was also class president and graduated valedictorian of his class of 1902. Upon graduation, he worked at the L.A. Harris Drugstore for several years before joining traveling shows throughout the United States and Great Britain in the 1910s. Perley made his first appearance in traveling shows with the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Show , where he performed in full tribal regalia. He then followed an Indian troupe to Great Britain where he performed in 1911 and 1912. After returning to the United States, he joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and the Barnum and Bailey Circus ; Perley often played the role of Indians stereotyped as savages during the early 1900s. During his time working with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and Barnum and Bailey's Circus, Perley attracted much attention from Hollywood talent scouts looking to bring "authenticity" to their productions. He appeared in numerous silent films with actors and actresses such as Mary Pickford, the Gish Sisters, Rudolph Valentino, and Richard Dix. The recognition Perley gained from appearing in the silent films landed him parts in several Broadway plays. Before retiring from performing, he appeared as part of an Indian show at the Chicago World's Fair. Perley began his writing career under the pseudonym " Henry Red Eagle " in 1910, when he began writing short stories for pulp magazines. In the 1930s Perley moved back to the Moosehead Lake Region of Maine , where he worked as a wilderness guide and worked seasonally as a counselor at Camp Morgan, in Washington New Hampshire. He became well-established as a renowned storyteller who advocated for environmental conservation. He also wrote for local publications such as In the Maine Woods and the Moosehead Gazette , stories encompassing themes of lumbering and adventures of wilderness guides. Focusing on the New England , he often highlighted the Native American presence in these areas to counteract the myth that they had disappeared from the northeast of the United States. Perley died at the age of 87 in Greenville, Maine on November 15, 1972, and is buried in the Greenville Cemetery.
