There would a new tear in the eye of the TV star Iron Eyes Cody over this disgrace.
“Iron Eyes Cody” was Espera or “Oscar” DeCorti, (1907-1999) the son of two first-generation immigrants from Italy. In 1924 he moved to California, changed his name from “DeCorti” to “Corti” and then to Cody, and started working as an actor, presenting himself as a Native American.

I met Iron Eyes Cody at a trade show in the 1970s. He had a booth set up and was dressed in his Indian outfit signing autographed photos of himself. This was during the period when his famous teary eye pollution TV commercial was running. It wasn’t until years later that I learned he was actually Italian.
