> 
> When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, it 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 his 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 message said, "Watch out for these guys; they have
> come to steal your land."
