My biggest journalistic blooper. Back in the 1990s, I used to freelance articles to a local environmental publication called The Green Milieu. One of these discussed the popular image of Native Americans as natural stewards of the environment (not always an accurate portrayal). In the opening paragraph, I stated that the Indian with the single tear coursing down his cheek was portrayed by the late Native American actor, Iron Eyes Cody. Some months later, I came across a news item in the Des Moines Register about Native American actor Iron Eyes Cody, celebrating his 94th birthday. I learned to check my facts closer after that one. Oh, well...at least I got his professional name right.
