Indian Message To The Moon 

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they 
did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and 
came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only
 Navajo, asked a question which his son translated. 
"What are these guys in the big suits doing?"



A member of the crew said they were practicing for 
their trip to the moon. The old man got all excited and asked
 if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the 
NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man  recorded his
 message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused.



So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation 
where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed but 
refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.

Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government
 translator. He reported that the moon message said, 
"Watch out for these guys; 
they have come to steal your land."
