Iron Eyes Cody was the second son of two immigrants to the USA from Sicily, Antonio and Francesca deCorti, making him 100% Italian. He became an actor specialising in native American parts and later falsely claimed to have Cherokee/Cree ancestry.
The link below gives more details and there is absolutely no doubt that he was Italian.
He was not the first European to pretend to be a native American: the case of Archibald Belaney from Hastings, England, is one of the greatest frauds in native history, but with the best of intentions. Read about him at the second link below.
Also compare the images of genuine Cree and Cherokee natives with a photograph of "Iron Eyes".
