You're probably right, especially if he portrayed NA folks in a positive way, and not as hatchet-wielding bloodthirsty savages as history is wont to do.

He might never want to set foot on a boat again. Offering a boat is in the same zip code as offering him lifetime ketchup.

In the article he said he lost everything when he lost his boat, so they're talking about getting him a boat and some stuff I think.

So yes he's Italian and lied about it his whole life. He played Native American's in film and TV but he was eventually accepted into a tribe even though he was of Italian decent. It was a while ago I read the story so can't remember the specifics how this happened.

>Iron Eyes Cody (born Espera Oscar de Corti, April 3, 1904 – January 4, 1999) was an American actor of Italian descent who portrayed Native Americans in Hollywood films, famously as Chief Iron Eyes in Bob Hope's The Paleface (1948). He also played a Native American shedding a tear about litter in one of the country's most well-known television public service announcements from the group Keep America Beautiful. Living in Hollywood, he began to insist, even in his private life, that he was Native American, over time claiming membership in several different tribes. In 1996, Cody's half-sister said that he was of Italian ancestry, but he denied it.

I don't know enough to say either way, but his wikipedia article (grain of salt) mentions he claimed Native American pretty much his whole life, but pretty much everybody questioned it. Especially when your birth name is Espera De Corti.

The man was not a native and therefore couldn't have possible have belonged to any native american group. It should go to the italians.

Yeah, whatever they’re gonna offer him, I hope it’s not a lifetime supply of ketchup.

Such a crazy story, but at some point I think he was genuinely accepted as a part of a Native American tribe.

I’m not against the project. I’m just against seeing it turn into a nightmare like the BIg Dig in Boston.
Funny how in my city the PW projects for bridges and roads come in on time and on budget, sometimes even under but we can’t get that at the state level. 🤔

I'm aware but it's actually a reference to something else. I was not aware of the name of their live albums. No worries bud!

Almost everything reported on this project is FUD bullshit, TBH. Oooh it's slow and over budget? Weird how we never get that reporting with highways, or the massive subsidies we hand to fossil fuel providers.

Fat Mike is the name of the lead singer for punk rock group NOFX. Their live albums are all titled some variant of I Heard They Suck Live. It was a simple joke and I assumed you were a NOFX fan. Sorry if that’s not the case, it wasn’t an attempt to offend.
