Why Is Sherman Alexie Silent?

WHY IS SHERMAN ALEXIE SILENT ABOUT LONE RANGER MOVIE?

Why hasn’t award-winning Native American author Sherman Alexie weighed in on the “Lone Ranger” Johnny-Depp-as-Tonto controversy? Alexie is famous for detesting the Tonto name and character. See:

Could it be that he’s something of a friend of Depp’s? Here’s a blog post indicating that Sherman Alexie was writing a screenplay for Mr. Depp.

Per someone named Wendy at Sherman Alexie's company, Falls Apart Productions, Mr. Alexie is declining to comment on the movie. Curious. It's his topic if it's anyone's.
