John Dunning Quote
Tonto belonged to the Potawatomi tribe of northern Michigan, though the origins of the term kemo sabe puzzled scholars for years. One academic made a lighthearted attempt to trace it through various Indian dialects and finally gave up. In later years, Jewell admitted that he had coined it: his father-in-law had once run a camp called Ke-Mo-Sah-Bee in upper Michigan.
