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.--superluser_tc 03:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthyear

The birth date given at the top of the article and the birth year category don't match. Which one is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.64.176.214 (talk) 01:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

Changed back in October 2006 with no source given. I'm changing it back. -- nae'blis 21:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] in popular culture

That he comes up so much in popular culture is significant. I'd love to get that list back in, but you're right, there should be citations. Kingturtle (talk) 19:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of link

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)

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)

The KAB link DID have the video. --blm07 03:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
