Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly and Vice President Rex Lee Jim met with the stars, along with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, and presented them with four Pendleton blankets as a good-will gesture on behalf of the Navajo Nation.
Depp "was very gracious and respectful, along with very patient with picture taking," President Shelly told ET, adding, "It was a great honor and privilege to meet Johnny Depp and filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer. We are honored the movie The Lone Ranger is being filmed here on the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation has beautiful landscape and we are glad it is being shared through filmmaking."
