So how is promoting a white guy in a job that could and should have been held by an Indian actor providing "Indian opportunity" Ms. Harris? Did Harris and the Comanche chairman ask the members of the Comanche tribe how they feel about this adoption? This looks to me like a couple of starstruck Indians and a wannabe trying to justify playing an Indian.

This makes me smile :)

Cannot agree with you more----My Brother--UNLESS The "new" Lone Ranger is a "mocumovie"---such as "blazing saddles"---or a "mocumentary" ---since the original "novel" was a hilariously stupid version of any reality---and the TV series with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels (a "Canadian Mohawk)----was a "cold war" subliminal message---to the viewer--"former enemies--"a Cowboy and and Indian"---"get together" to make life easier for those "white folks back home"-----so "help fight those commies by making friends with our former enemies"----and the "White folks of america ate it up with spoons"--- AS for "being adopted"----that makes a mockery of being "Tribal"---but then; so many "tribal peoples" are desperate these days--unless of course they have casinos---then they become "ruthless"---and "kick their members out that they don't want---and "get extra money for it". As for the Comanche, they don't have a "casino" so maybe "adopting a mediocre actor will help"---I mean after all this IS "amuraca ain't it?" You know the "land of the free (or is that free land of the??)and the home of the brave"---who lie, cheat, and steal everywhere they go. Also, a turn of the century estimate of the "Comanche population" (1901 Beureau of Ethnology" determined that the Comanche nation numbered slightly less than 3000---with an estimated 15% of them being "captives" who were later adopted---or "mixed bloods" from those uunioins---there numbers have increased to approx 10K now----so maybe that tactic is effective------(I would suggest that Mr. Depp---who makes as much a ninety million per film---PAY for his adoption---and the "price" would reflect the "value" of the "membership" by the "ONES DOING THE ADOPTING" but, that is me and I can't speak for anyone else who is a "Comanche"*--- Mr. Depp I suppose will be taking Nahuatl language lessons soon I'm sure also----------------------- * My "Tanima" (Liver Eater Band) Comanche ancestors were listed as "extinct" by the "BOE" in 1900---they just "failed to notify us of it"....."Go figure " Good Luck America------you really need it.

this is awesome like johnny depp what a great honor for him!!! cant wait to see the lone ranger i grew up watching the t.v. show i know johnny depp will be great playing tonto he is the most gifted and best actor on the planet!! one beautiful talented man!!! bless you johnny my favorite actor!!!!

yes, johnny depp gets around, why just recently he was here in Puerto Vallarta....but, no memberships freely given out in this part of country! So, now with tribal ID in hand, will we see him compete for Indian Health Service care, future burial entitlements, exemption of sales taxation, and assorted other tribal benefits........ As full-blood enrolled Native myself, giving memberships out like gift certificates at Walmart is both comical and somewhat sad.....!! And, gifts back to host family,,,new BMW for Le Donna and full political support/funds for Senor Wauqua's next election........movie tickets for AMC theaters.....good grief !!!! is there room in the adoption line for ..............my favorite,,,,,,,Donald Duck??? I mean, Donald has longer staying influence than Johnny Depp, now a full-blood enrolled Comanche!!!

This a a travesty when there are thousands of true bloods that can't and won't ever be recognized by any nation. This stinks to high heaven. Where is the honor in this? Because he is celebrity? Adopt all of us then! And for the record I know he has blood. My people are on rolls and my family is outcast. This really strikes a cord in my soul. Good for you Johnny. Wish I was rich and famous.

I too would be tempted to adopt Johnny into the Ojibwa people just to meet a celebrity and have thousands look at my photo but then again, the people wouldn't be looking at me, lol

Commanche chair better provide leadership so banks stop freezing all their tribal accounts, rather than hanging around men wearing eye lining makeup !!!
