Jay Silverheels (born Harold Jay Smith; May 26, 1912 – March 5, 1980, Mohawk) [1] was a Canadian actor and athlete, descended from three Iroquois nations. [2] He was well known for his role as Tonto, the Native American companion of the Lone Ranger [3] [4] in the American Western television series The Lone Ranger.
Tonto first rode a horse named "White Feller" (White Fella/Fellah). When the 1938 Republic movie serial The Lone Ranger was being filmed, it was thought that having two white horses would be confusing, so the producers made "White Feller" a pinto horse, presumably on the theory that, being partly white, a pinto could still be named "White Feller".
Ke-mo sah-bee (/ ˌ k iː m oʊ ˈ s ɑː b iː /; often spelled kemo sabe, kemosabe or kimosabe) is the term used by the fictional Native American sidekick Tonto as the "Native American" name for the Lone Ranger in the American Lone Ranger radio program and television show.
In some versions, Tonto recognizes the lone survivor as the man who had saved his life when they both were children. According to the television series, Tonto gave Reid a ring and the name Kemo Sabe, which he said means "trusty scout". [14] John Reid then tells Tonto that he intends to hunt down Cavendish and his men and to bring them to justice.
The Lone Ranger is an American Western television series that aired on the ABC Television network from 1949 to 1957, with Clayton Moore in the starring role. Jay Silverheels, a member of the Mohawk Aboriginal people in Canada, played the Lone Ranger's Indian companion Tonto.
His title "Chief" was a Hollywood invention, a stage name. He had the title role in Geronimo (1939) and played Tonto in both Republic Lone Ranger serials, The Lone Ranger (1938) and The Lone Ranger Rides Again (1939). Throughout the 1940s, Daniels continued to work as a character actor, maintaining the Chief Thundercloud persona.
