The “Indian” in the ad was actually a Sicilian from Louisiana. Not a drop of Indian blood.

And they feel very self-satisfied with this pointless gesture

So they have the rights to an Italian-American crying.

The “Indian” actor Iron Eyes Cody was actually an Italian-American guy named Espera Oscar de Corti. So it would seem to me that all the rights to the ad should go to an Italian-American group.

Maybe give it to these guys. It would only be fair.

Will the “Native Americans” claim the rights to Lasagna too?

After all, you can’t make Lasagna without tomatoes and tomatoes came from the New World.

Too late. That ad is ancient TV history. It rarely gets referred to anymore. Will these same Indians sue for misappropriation when they find out that actor was Jewish? Find some other way to chase a dollar!

They’re remaking the commercial with Pocahontas.

Tigers, Lions and Elephants and all sorts of wacky creatures used to run around America. The America Europeans found was hardly an untouched wilderness when the Europeans found it. Indians weren’t exactly Captain Planet in their day. Ironically if it WAS an untouched wilderness this weakens the idea that Europeans stole America since that would mean the indians only inhabited a very small portion.

What is the point of this?

It should be released to the public domain if anything.

Arguably the greatest public service commercial of all time.

What was missed is that outside every Indian reservation I’ve ever seen is a stream of trash, mostly empty alcohol containers. I’ve always figured a update of the ad showing the road at a reservation would be highly appropriate.

It was a very effective ad. Should still be used judiciously today.
