Gary Farmer against drunk driving

NDNs don't let NDNs Drive DrunkPublic Service Announcement aimed at American Indians, and other indigenous peoples, against drunk driving. Features actor Gary Farmer (from Sherman Alexie's movie Smoke Signals), who is legendary for his lead role in the film Powwow Highway.

Comment:  I believe the narrator is Floyd Red Crow Westerman.

At one point the narrator says alcohol "has killed more Indians than war, disease, and crime." Well, maybe, except for the war and disease part.

I'm pretty sure disease is the no. 1 killer of Indians in US history. War may be no. 2, although you probably could make a good case for poverty. I doubt alcohol is higher than no. 3 or 4.
