Nasa and Navaho

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 that they were practicing for a trip to
the moon.

When his son relayed this comment, the Navajo 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 underling to get a tape recorder.

The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone were brief.

The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what
his father had said. The son listened to the recording and
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 loudly but also refused to translate the elder's
message to the moon.

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. "
