What is the Cultural Significance of the Moon for Native Americans?

[QUOTE="Mondayman, post: 6309252, member: 581575"] I read a book about the Studies and Observations Group (SOG) in the Vietnan War. There was a team of three Americans and six or so Montegnards, Natives of Vietnam and Laos, running a secret cross border mission in Laos in 1968. The team had set up for the night when HQ told the Americans about the moon landing happening as they spoke. The Americans tried to tell the Montegnards about mission to the moon, and it absolutely did not compute. To them the moon was a sacred godlike thing or something, I don't remember the significance of the moon in their culture. But the idea of humans leaving the Earth to explore the moon was just incomprehensible to them. Kind of funny how we choose to look at the same thing with different views. [/QUOTE]
