TURNING A CORNER ON MY WALK yesterday, I bumped into Jay Silverheels. “I thought you were dead,” I told him. “Not really,” he countered. “When the white men in suits ended the ‘Lone Ranger’ series, they banished me back to the reservation.” “That was a great show,” I said. “Yes, I got to pretend to kill lots of hairy white men,” he said with his usual straight face. “You never seemed to smile,” I pointed out. “Indians have nothing to smile about,” he said grimly. I decided to change the subject. “Scout was a pretty good horse, wasn’t he?” I asked. “Scout good horse, but slow.” Then he added: “I could run faster than Scout.” “There’s a couple of things I’ve always wondered about you, if you don’t mind my asking.” He grunted. “What tribe are you from?” “I am Canadian Mohawk,” he said. “Also, I’ve always wondered what ‘kemosabe’ really meant.” He finally cracked a barely perceptible grin. “During our first filming,” he told me, “I was riding right behind the Lone Ranger and looking at Silver’s butt. The Lone Ranger heard me say ‘kemosabe’ and thought I was calling to him, so I told him it meant ‘friend.’” “What does it really mean?” I asked. “Horse’s ass,” said Silverheels.
