| GLOBALISATION ON THE MOON Back in the 1960s 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.  Along with all the trucks and large vehicles, there were 
                        twolarge figures dressed in full Lunar spacesuits.
 Nearby a Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching 
                        thestrange 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 understand 
                        or speak English, his son asked for him what the strange 
                        creatures were and the NASA people told them that they 
                        are just men that are 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 theyrustled 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 
                        totranslate 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."
