Honors
In 1995, the Hollywood American Indian community honored Cody for his contributions to the representation of Indian life, although they tactfully pointed out his non-Native heritage.
In 1999, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars was dedicated to him.
Cody passed away on January 4, 1999 at age 94. He was survived by his adopted son, Robert "Tree" Cody, who has become known as a performer on the Native American flute. Robert is of Dakota-Maricopa ancestry.

And to his honors and his valiant parts
Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
