"During the space program, the Apollo astronauts practiced 'moon-walking' in the Southwestern deserts. The strange sight of the space-suited figures wandering around the landscape attracted several Indians. One of them could speak English, and the officials in charge told him what they were doing. When he informed the others, one old man wanted to write a message to send to the moon. The NASA people humored him, and he scratched out a message. When the other Indians read it, they smiled, but didn't say anything. The NASA people couldn't read it, since it was in Indian, and they finally had to resort to paying a willing Indian- for whom they had to search, since most refused- to tell them what it said. The note said, 'Watch out for these people! They're coming to take your land!'"
