Words of Navajo Wisdom 

About 1966 or so, a NASA team doing work for the
Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City
where the terrain of the Navajo Reservation looks very
much like the Lunar surface. 

Along with all the trucks and large vehicles, there
were two large figures dressed in full Lunar
spacesuits. 

Nearby a Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching
the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being
tended by personnel. The two Navajo people were
noticed and approached by the NASA personnel. Since
the man did not know English, his son asked for him
what the strange creatures were and the NASA people
told them that they are just men that are getting
ready to go to the moon. The man became very excited
and asked if he could send a message to the moon with
the astronauts. 

The NASA personnel thought this was a great idea so
they rustled up a tape recorder. After the man gave
them his message, they asked his son to translate. His
son would not. 

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation
to translate and every person they asked would chuckle
and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in
hand, someone translated the message, "Watch out for
these guys, they come to take your land."
