Keep America Beautiful (Crying Indian) 70s Anti-Pollution Ad

Iron Eyes Cody was most famous for his “crying Indian“ role in the “Keep America Beautiful“ Public Service Announcement (PSA) in the early 1970s. It was an ecology commercial in which an Indian (Cody) sheds a tear after some trash is thrown from a speeding car and lands at his feet. The announcer, William Conrad, of Bullwinkle and Cannon fame, memorably declares: “People start pollution; people can stop it.“
