Not too long ago, there was mention of the old TV test pattern that
featured an "Indian". Later, the Indian was identified as Iron Eyes
Cody. I grew up with him as the prototypical "Indian" as I presume many
of us had. Well..... Iron Eyes Cody was an actor that had claimed Cree and Cherokee ancestry. However, truth be told, he was the son of a Sicilian family born in Kaplan, LA in 1904, not Oklahoma. So he was not a native American at all. See the link below: http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/ironeyes.asp He died in 1999, and there are still web sites out there that use his name and claimed ancestry to promote the "green" agenda. Interesting phenomena. **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw |
