I was attending the Niman (Home) Dance at the Third Mesa Hopi village of Orayvi on the weekend of the landing. The Hopi consider the Moon to be a god, and many Hopi were displeased to learn of the landing. They were more displeased to learn several months later that Eagle's orbit had decayed sending the lunar lander crashing back somewhere on the Moon's surface. They thought it disrespectful.
