And remember how they brought race into it? (Though I have to admit, that tall jive protester did have a catchy beat-rap recurring line: “…. but Whitey’s on the moon.”). I suppose he would have to amend that later, after the first black astronauts went up from the Cape.

Yes, as though the race of the astronauts was somehow discrediting!

Navajo's (or any other indigenous group) would be a lot more relevant had they just kept "the white man" out of their territory. Unfortunately for the indigenous groups, they were conquered and now get to keep what "the white man" gives them.
