Can someone clarifiy of a line of dialogue in Evan Almighty please?

In the film, right at the beginning, Evan says "I feel like that old Indian in front of all that garbage". I have read in a review that this is the funniest joke in the entire film - but I don't understand it. What sort of an Indian - one from Calcutta or a Red Indian - why would either type sit in front of garbage - what has this got to do with Evan and why is it funny? Please, somebody explain it to me.

This is one of the commercials I remember most from the 70's. I think a lot of people over 40 remember it so that is why they referenced it in the movie.

I understand at last. Of course this joke is not going to work in England without an explanation is it?
