I only knew that because of a link to a site about him that was posted by a friend of mine over on the www.histomil.com site ;-)) I knew he was a real Native--but always thought he was Navajo.
I wasn't absolutely positive, either , but had also read or heard it somewhere, plus he diffidently looked the part.

Ill see if I can find the exact site with Jay's info on it. Also, apparently he was one heck of a good Athlete too. I forget what Sport he was in? but apparently he was a star athlete.
It does state both in Wikipedia and IMDb,
that:-
Nice find. I hadnt read about his Father though.

It goes on to say
QuoteSilverheels excelled in athletics and lacrosse as a boy before leaving home to travel around North America, competing in boxing and wrestling tournaments. In the 1930s he played indoor lacrosse under the name of Harry Smith with the Rochester, NY "Iroquois" of the North American Amateur Lacrosse Association. He lived for a time in Buffalo, New York. In 1938 Silverheels placed second in the middleweight section of the tournament.
As luck would have it, I live in Rochester, NY. Every time a news story or new movie with Jay was released, it would get some press time. He was always referred to as a Rochester native, which I thought was a bit amusing.

'Lone Ranger' Budget Back Up to $250 Million
'Lone Ranger' Budget Back Up to $250 Million
I wonder why? so depp can get paid $100 million for playing yet another character as a gay character. >;-((
So far, may I say, it looks good to me!
I'm all for a big budget western based on a classic character. Especially as I was a monument valley when they were filming there! 
Id be all for seeing it if they replaced depp. Sorry, I cant stand that freak.
And... the newest Lone Ranger trailer.

Ahhhh... I was placing the entire URL between the code info... thanks!
I still say: BAH HUMBUG and thumbs down on this movie.
I think it looks amazing!
I cannot wait to see a big Western at the cinema again.
If its a success a whole new generation will discover the genre and in turn discover its greatest star... Duke Wayne!
I wonder why they picked depp though? The guys a 2-legged Arachnid. To borrow a classic line from Telly Savalas (aka) Big Joe in: "Kellys Heroes" "He's a Freak."
