I know, I know, he wasn't really an Indian.

Still much truth. The real population of the country now known as the USA had a much greater respect for nature and the environment than the settlers and their ancestors ever had.

This was here somewhere (?) because I tried to sift it a week or so ago.

Simpsons had a spoof of this. I think it was the episode where Homer figured out how to get rid of trash. It was at the end of the episode. I couldn't find an online clip.

Heh, I've seen this spoofed a million times, but I'm not even sure I've ever seen the original before.

Power to my peeps! Um, well, sort of...

I'm very conflicted by this thing. I support the message, but I cringe at the stereotypes. I know he's not an Indian, but I think he was a big supporter of Indians (I might be wrong, haven't read up on it in a while). I don't know, man, I just don't know.

And on top of that I am forever referencing this PSA in casual conversation and nobody ever gets the joke. Sigh. No one understands me.

They guy wasn't an indian (he was italian), but he married one, adopted two indian children, and was a big comapaigner for indian causes. From my point of view, I don't care about his dna: he's an indian.

yup. wiki has that episode listed, in the numerous pop culture references.

embarrassing, that people still try to smear the ad, and the *humanitarian message, by pointing out that he wasn't an indian. objection: relevance.

i was looking for a video, for this tune, and one of 'em featured this PSA, in the clip.

nowadays, this *commercial would probably be considered a fairly *obscure reference.
it was anything but, when i was growing up. still one of the most successful psa's ever.
