    The Lone Ranger was a long-running early radio and television show based on a masked cowboy in the American Old West, who gallops about righting injustices, usually with the aid of a clever and laconic American Indian called Tonto, and his horse Silver.
    Tonto greets the Lone Ranger with the expression kemosabe, which has also been written Kemo Sabe or Kemo Sabhay. The origin of this expression is somewhat unclear, but James Jewell, an early director of the radio series, said the name comes from a boys camp located on Mullett Lake, Michigan that his father-in-law had run from 1911 to 1941. The translation was said to mean trusty scout. Fran Striker, the writer of the Lone Ranger scripts, said the actual expression was Ta-i ke-mo sah-bee, which he said meant greetings trusty scout. In the pilot of the Clayton Moore TV series, Enter the Lone Ranger, Tonto explicitly states that Kemosabe means trusty scout.
    However, the phrase faithful friend has also been associated with the term Kemo Sabe.
    Some of the information here was taken from Wikipedia, thanks to those guys.
