<P> Kamp Kee - Mo Sah - Bee was in an area inhabited by the Ottawa, who speak a language which is mutually comprehensible with Ojibwe . John D. Nichols and Earl Nyholm's A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe defines the Ojibwe word giimoozaabi as "he peeks" (and, in theory, "he who peeks"), making use of the prefix giimoo (j) -, "secretly"; Rob Malouf, now an associate professor of linguistics at San Diego State University, suggested that "giimoozaabi" may indeed have also meant scout (i.e., "one who sneaks"). </P> <P> There have been jokes about the name "kemo sabe". A Far Side cartoon had the then long - retired Lone Ranger discover that the name meant the rear end of a horse . Homer and Jethro's parody of the Stonewall Jackson song "Waterloo" had the following verse: "The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode the trail / catching outlaws and putting them in jail / But the Ranger shot old Tonto' cause it seems / he found out what Kemo Sabe means / (Waterloo refrain follows) The Lone Ranger he did trust / That old Tonto bit the dust ." </P> <P> In the old Lone Ranger TV series, the Ranger's faithful friend and partner Tonto, played by First Nations actor Jay Silverheels for the entire run of the series, was asked in many scenes what "Kemosabe" meant . His reply was invariably, "It mean Trusty Scout!" The made - for - TV movie Enter the Lone Ranger (1949) combined the plots of the first three episodes of the Lone Ranger TV series: "Enter the Lone Ranger", "The Lone Ranger Fights On", and "The Lone Ranger Triumphs" into a complete story related to the origins of the Lone Ranger and his fight for justice for all regardless of sex, race, or creed . </P> <P> In both, Tonto finds the forever nameless younger brother of a famous Texas Ranger "Capt . Reid" barely alive . A medallion around the young man's neck helps identify him as the same boy who'd saved Tonto after a renegade attack had wiped out his own family some years earlier . Tonto declares the young man, played by Clayton Moore, worthy of brotherhood and, after a "traditional" blood - sharing ceremony gives him the name "Kemosabe" or "Trusty Scout". </P>
