Native American group given rights to 1970s 'Crying Indian' ad
Fox News
The National Congress of American Indians was given the rights to Keep America Beautiful's 1971 "Crying Indian" ad, a recognizable anti-pollution advertisement featuring Iron Eyes Cody.
The 1971 ad showed a man in Native American attire grimly looking at litter and pollution. The actor, Iron Eyes Cody, shed a single tear as the camera zoomed in on his face – a pop culture moment that has been parodied in "South Park" and "The Simpsons".
But the ad, which was originally a hit, has been considered controversial over the years. Native American activists believe it is problematic for promoting the "noble savage" archetype.
