Charles Norman Shay (June 27, 1924 – December 3, 2025) was an American Penobscot tribal elder, writer and decorated veteran of both World War II and the Korean War. Along with a Bronze Star and Silver Star, Shay was also awarded the Legion of Honour, making him the first Native American in Maine with the distinction of French chevalier. He was instrumental in the re-publishing of a book by his own grandfather, Joseph Nicolar: The Life and Traditions of the Red Man, originally published in 1893. He later wrote an autobiography, Project Omaha Beach: The Life and Military Service of a Penobscot Indian Elder, that detailed his time abroad in the military. Shay was also a direct descendant of Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin.
