Those Indians are hilarious!


Every time I watch this show, I anxiously wait for when the men of F Troop mention that are going to the Hekawis camp to consult the Indians for something or another.

Frank DeKova & Don Diamond clearly made a good team together as Chief and sidekick, waiting to take his place as Chief.

The Hekawis being a peaceful tribe is always played in the show's comedy against the vicious tribes such as Apaches. I remember the episode where one power hungry Corporal came into F Troop wanting to wipe the Hekawis out.

These lines were some stand out ones I can remember off the top of my head:

Crazy Cat: Say why we not vote for Chief the American way like they do?

Wild Eagle coming up with some quick reason to shut him up, that actually made sense.

-----
Agarn (dressed as Indians when the Hekawis show up): Oh no! Indians! RUN!!

Crazy Cat (Sees Agarn dressed as Indians): Oh no Indians! RUN!!

-----

Crazy Cat (Caving in from a fear tactic to give F Troop's location up): Make right turn at big rock that look like bear ... then make left turn at big bear that look like rock.

...Oh and those smoke signals only one F Trooper knows how to read. Just too funny.

Agarn: "How did the Hekawis get their name?"

Wild Eagle: "Glad you asked. Many moons ago, tribe leave Massachussetts because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood. Tribe travel west, over stream, over river, over mountain, over mountain, over river, over stream. Then come big day. Tribe fall over cliff. That when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, 'I think we lost. Where the heck are we?'"


I like the funny names too.
