I saw this in the 70's and again on i love the 70's on vh1. they said he was Irish not native american... It always made me feel sad about giving them sickness infested blankets... No until I saw that i love the 70's i didn't think he wasn't native american...
Both johna1973 and mvp2007 are correct. It is the same Indian, and the person is of Italian descent. His name was Espera di Corti, known professionally as "Iron Eyes Cody":
it is ok to be Italian and Native American i am,
Don't ever forget and Italian sailed the ocean blue in 1492. and landed with the Native Americans of course they got along and had children and of course they are half breed Italian's and Native Americans don't be stupid about history. learn from it. do your own family research and find out what you are you might be shocked to learn
