This site credits them to "Jasper Saunkeah, Cherokee."

Wikipedia says "In 1989 (reprinted 1993), Viesti Associates produced a poster listing "The Ten Indian Commandments", a purported Native American counterpart of the biblical Ten Commandments. The ten points listed echo the cliché of the native living in ecological harmony."
