Yes. [I couldn't resist. Iconic image.] He passed recently, IIRC. And became an avid supporter of educating people to the Indian culture/heritage.

Iron Eyes Cody (born Espera Oscar de Corti April 3, 1904 – January 4, 1999) was an American actor. He portrayed Native Americans in Hollywood films.

He also played an Indian shedding a tear about litter in one of the country's most well-known television commercials, "Keep America Beautiful". In 1996, Cody's half-sister said that he was actually of Italian ancestry, but he denied it.
