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 only
spoke Navajo, asked a question, which his son translated. "What are the
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 really 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. 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, NASA called in an official government translator. He
reported that the moon message said, "Watch out for these white guys;
they've come to steal your land."
