Donna Hartley you may want to chk. into this . A bit of history you may not know . NASA tidbit Life isnt about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.............. When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajo reservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew walking among the rocks. The elder, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people: What are these guys in the big suits doing? One of the astronauts said they were practicing for a trip to the moon. When his son relayed this response, the elder got all excited and asked if it would be possible to give to the astronauts a message to deliver to the moon. Recognizing a promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA official accompanying the astronauts said, Why certainly! and told an assistant to get a tape recorder. The Navajo elders comments into the microphone were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. The son laughed uproariously. But he refused to translate. So the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village and played it for other members of the tribe. They too laughed long and loud; but they also refused to translate the elders message to the moon. Finally, an official government translator was summoned. After he finally stopped laughing, the translator relayed the message: Watch out for these assholes. They have come to steal your land.
