@tvdays - You say shame on me for not knowing who it is, then don't offer the answer when I ask?
You are perpetuating the problem, oh well Ill ignore high and mighty attitude and just enjoy your videos. I have no shame in asking a question or being ignorant of a persons identity, You have a happy new year anyways! Lets hope for one with less negativity :)
@tvdays - It's all good I understand. Ill wait for the answer. Most every video I watch on here I am clueless about in all honesty, not just this one. I guess I need to be a decade or two older to see all the familiar faces. Thanks again for the interesting footage. Take care!
The name of the actor playing the Indian (no Native American back then :-) was Iron Eyes Cody, who portrayed many Indian roles in movies and television before and after that PSA. (though he was actually of Italian ancestry). This PSA was recorded in 1971 and ran for that entire decade.
I think there was an edited version of this shown in the 90's.

Remember it well.
It was a big deal when Cody died too, if I remember correctly.
