I couldn’t resist using this title. This is the kind of pidgin Tonto used. He was the sidekick of the mighty Lone Ranger and invented for the famous radio show so that Lone Ranger had someone to talk to. The actor portraying him in the series was Jay Silverheels. He was not exactly a role model for Indians, but more like a symbol for the exploitation of native Americans in Hollywood.
Visit the Lone Ranger Fan Club, watch a really funny Lone Ranger story told by Jay Thomas and read what Sherman Alexie writes about Tonto.
