message: Didn't it ultimately come to light that this person was not, in fact, a Native American? If he was, this article could use some fleshing out re: his heritage.
No, he was a Cherokee.
Hey, you guys, sign your stuff.  Anyway, it appears from http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/ironeyes.htm that he was not a Native American until he decided to become one early in his adulthood, and he never looked back.  That is worthy of respect and has precedents.  Hmmm.  ;Bear 19:06, 2004 Jul 20 (UTC)
:Does it deserve enough respect to list him in the Native American actors category?  I don't know enough to advise one way or the other, but it seems odd that I don't see anyone discussing the issue here or at the category discussion.--superlusertc 03:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why should the official video link be removed? I don't understand why an official link to the official site should be removed while someone who wants hits on google video should stay. --blm07 01:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The video of the commercial he is in should stay, and it has not been removed. Promotional sites for KAB should be in the KAB article, not in this one. Kingturtle (talk) 02:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal of link 

message: I was shocked to see in the credits of  Unconquered (1947 film),  him listed as Indian language advisor. It seems to me this is an example of just how far Hollywood was taken in by his charade. I think it’s something that should be in the article - Would it be acceptable to use the credits of the film as a source? Dlabtot (talk) 08:22, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indian Language Advisor 

message: As a wikinoob, not confident about making edits to the actual page. I'm making note of the claim that the "Crying Indian" add was effective in reducing litter by 88%. The cited source leads nowhere. Also, there are sources (e.g.: https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-indian-crying-environment-ads-pollution-1123-20171113-story.html
) suggesting that that campaign was not effective in that it unloaded responsibility for disposable food packaging waste from the manufacturers onto the consumers—a planned effort along the lines of "guns don't kill, people do."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cappycollins (talk • contribs) 19:36, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, "this ad played a significant role in reducing litter" and "this ad was made by corporations to shift the causes of pollution from themselves to consumers" can both be true, particularly if "litter" is understood in the sense of individuals throwing away stuff on streets, roads, parks, etc. That being said, the current source mentioned in the article (Priceonomics) doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia's criteria for a reliable source (in fact one of its "sources" is none other than Wikipedia.) It does, however, cite a webpage of the ANA Educational Foundation for the 88% claim: https://aef.com/classroom-resources/social-responsibility/ad-council-campaigns-made-difference/pollution-prevention/ (the Priceonomics site links to a now-defunct version of that webpage, hence why it "leads nowhere.") I doubt the AEF is a rock-solid source, but it'd certainly make more sense to cite it directly rather than use Priceonomics as an inept, unnecessary intermediary. --Ismail (talk) 14:14, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Poor Evidence

message: I would love to see, with appropriate documentation, a mention of his appearance in the above. I know it to have been the case, as I was there, and he drew the second-biggest crowd reaction of the day to that of Reagan himself.  If anyone has a reliable source for this, such as a daily paper from the next day (January 21, 1981), then it very much needs to be included in the article. 2600:1004:B14D:D5E9:0:48:BD90:5C01 (talk) 15:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
