I know all this is way off topic, but I had to through in a little humor.... I found this story on the web. It was originally told by Peterson Zha, >> at the time the story occurred, he was President of the Navajo Nation. >> The story is retolded by Charles Phillip Whitedog, Ojibway. He is the >> Network Manager Multimission Ground Systems Office, Mission Control, >> Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA. >> >> 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. With all the trucks >> and large vehicles where two large figures that were dressed in full >> Lunar spacesuits. >> >> Near by a Navajo sheepherder 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 were just men >> 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." > >Dan >Ooyalugi >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(_______)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >
