# Crying Indian • HD

"Crying Indian" PSA • from the 60's or 70's - remastered in HD. This is the classic 'Crying Native American' AD (or 'crying Indian' ad, as some refer to it). It appears the copy I have here is the highest resolution copy of it on Archive dot Org - and does NOT have a Web Site URL pasted over it. A pristine copy resurrected from VHS specifically for Archive.org ... I found this old recording of the (now famous?) PSA (Public Service Announcement) regarding environmental pollution - from "The AD Counsel" - on VHS Tape. I have just converted the Ad to 1080HD for posterity. Summary: A native American in a traditional canoe paddles through highly contaminated waters to land on a rocky shore near a busy freeway. Standing near the side of the road, he sees someone throw garbage out of their car window - and it lands at his feet. As the announcer's voice over concludes the message: he turns to face you and a tear goes down his right cheek. Zoom in on the tear rolling ... CLASSIC Of American Television. Remastered in the Year 2020, in 1080HD format, from old VHS Tape. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
