Found this statement from Mr. Moore in an old interview: " Well, first of all, there's too much violence today. We didn't have a tremendous amount of violence
on our shows. Sure we did have the law of the gun and we did have physical combat, fights, but
there wasn't the blood and guts as they call it today. I don't like violence, I don't think we have to have
it. This is one of the reasons why I believe the western has sort of taken a back seat. However, it
runs in cycles and I think you're going to find out that westerns will be coming back. It's Americana,
it's part of our history, the cowboy, the cattle drive, the sheriff, the fight for law, order and justice.
Justice will always prevail as far as I'm concerned." Jay Silverheels was a Mohawk Indian. His character Tonto was a Potawatomie.
