Back then, when they did talk about the environment, they used a fake Indian who was actually Sicilian.

First I've ever heard that Iron Eyes Cody was really Sicilian.

Yeah, we had the "Don't Be A Litterbug" campaigns, and of course there was always Smokey the Bear. I could live with that stuff, though. Just made common sense.

Actually he was born in Kaplan, Louisiana (just down the road from me) to Sicilian immigrant parents. His real last name was "de Corti".
