Smithsonian Magazine Sept.1977, pp.113-121 - there is a lengthy article
which recaps the etymological research efforts to pin "kemo sabe" down
both for meaning and for source language.  Neither can be documented
since the phrase was apparently cobbled together by a non-Indian-language
speaker.  It's a fun article.
