In 1971, this 60 second PSA was first aired with a tear running down his of a sole Native American, played by Iron Eyes Cody.
To this day, it remains a visually stunning and powerful statement.

Little bit of trivia:
Espera DeCorti or 'Iron Eyes Cody' was not an Indian at all. He was Italian. And the tear, glycerine.

If you tell me there's no Santa Claus, I'll have to go slit my wrists w/a dull safety razor.

If there was no milk and cookies, I'd need that nonexistant razor.

Nice job of video editing to trim the size for local hosting... I didn't really miss the lopped-off pieces.
