Keep America Beautiful



At the risk of boring my (admittedly small) audience, I am writing my third post in a row about Native American respect for our land. I don't know what made me think of this, I guess I had my mind on the topic and it forced this up from the depths of my memory.

I was only 8 years old when this Public Service Announcement first aired on Earth Day in 1971. It made a huge impression on me as a little kid, and it still chokes me up today. Along with my years in the Boy Scouts, I think this ad really shaped my views about our environment. And the music is a case study in building drama and emotion.

  1. My Father was Native American (he passed away back in 1999) and He loved that commercial... He was an environmental activist and was very proud of his families heritage (cherokee indian nation).. I was adopted but was proud of it as well. This post and your previous one brought back memories of listening to him talk about his heritage and made me remember the time/s I watched that commercial with him. ty for that. again, gr8 blog.
