Children played "cowboys and Indians" in those days, emulating the heroes of the movies and TV shows of the time. When I was a kid, we admired the Indians and envied our friends at school who had native heritage in their lineage. Indians, to us, represented respect for and knowledge of nature. Too bad the gov't didn't see it that way. As children we were sheltered from the reality of how badly Native Americans were treated.
It's Tragic how millions of acres have burned since these psa's were made. Thousands of wildlife and fenced livestock have perished! People have lost lives and property especially in the western US where there is drought.
Unfortunately we were very good at preventing fires and the result is a forest that has way too much combustible material and too many homes nearby. Like in New Orleans man has put himself in grave danger by our ignorance.
I am interested in Native Americans and the Story about Smokey the Bear. Please tell me what you know? What tribe are you? I am from Oklahoma, but not officially thru my parents and Indian(Osage and others are in that southeast area of OKC (city)
Rena Jacile it was found by a taos pueblo fire crew called "snowballs" in NM near Mescelaro. The Forest Service took credit for the rescue of the bear and no credit was given to the Pueblo snowball crew.

More people need to watch this and protect our precious forests...
I love the brutal honesty of some of those ads.
I remember some of those public service announcements. They were huge during our bicentennial years.

This is a very informative video. Being 22 minutes long, makes it long, yet well worth the time for those that like FACTS behind "Smokey The Bear"

Some of Smokeys old psas were very 😱. They scared me to understand his message.
There's an argument of his name. SMOKEY BEAR and SMOKEY THE BEAR. Its presented in a song as Smokey the Bear.
There are some very rare SB ads in here! I never saw the Godzilla and "Daddy" spots. Thanks!

I'm watching this as we are going through wildfires in California :(

Hope you guys are okay.
Prevent forest fires at all costs!!
One time on Mannix a beautiful lady threw a lit cigarette out a moving car window and Mannix replied 'Smokey the bear wouldn't like that".
