Hmm. I've never heard anyone claim that some Natives naturally spoke in a "Tonto style." I don't doubt that you heard what you heard, but I've talked to many of your Native contemporaries and no one has said anything similar.
I've read five or ten possible origins of the phrase "kemo sabe." Yours is yet another one. As far as I know, no one has definitively established any of these origins.
