My favorite TV/Movie Indians were the 'Hakowie" (alternately pronounced as "Fakowie") from F-Troop. My F-I-L (Chippewa) Howled when they'd do that bit, looking out from under a flattened hand: "We're the Hakowie?"

No doubt someone would be offended now...prolly some 'victim' studies grad who had as much Indian blood as Liz Warren.

Don't forget Johnny Carson got away with passing references for years to the fakowie indian tribe. Finally some half-wit NBC standards and practices suit figured out the joke.

I was hoping someone would bring them up. Chief Wild Eagle, played by Frank De Kova. Go figure. The Hakawi’s made that show one of my favorites. :-)
