While he was there, the Chief gave him a tour of their lands and activities to show him how well the tribe was doing. Heading back to the village, the Chief said, "It'll be shorter if we cut across this cow pasture, but be careful you don't step in the kemosabe." [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

After further consultation with Indian language expert Laura Buszard-Welcher, we've established that Kamp Kee-Mo Sah-Bee was in an area inhabited by the Ottawa, who spoke a dialect of Ojibwe with the same word giimoozaabi. There were also Potawatomi in the region who spoke a closely related language with a similar word. So while the "trusty" part may have been hype, kemosabe probably really was a Native American term for "scout." ...
