Who Were They? Native Americans using their native languages to transmit secret code for the US military Comprised of hundreds of Navajo words that had symbolic military meaning. ex: Besh-lo “Iron Fish” - Submarine Dah-hi-tih-hi “Hummingbird” - Fighter Plane

Why Were They Needed? US was taking heavy casualties in the pacific theater partially due to the Japanese’ ability to crack the US radio codes Philip Johnston- had the idea to use the Navajo language as code The Navajo code was uncrackable Language was virtually unknown by any non-Navajo no alphabet no written language

Recruiting and Training May 1942: Marine corps initiates the employment of code talkers with the first 29 recruits 540 Navajos in service by end of war 375-420 were trained code talkers Charles Gorman: one of first 29 Navajos in war 1942: got malaria and kept fighting 1944: evacuated from war due to malaria and shellshock

In battle Fought alongside their fellow marines Quickly sent and received valuable messages saving Americans Victories in Iwo Jima and Okinawa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQHhbhtpJ3M

Post-War Code was never broken public learned of code talkers in 1990’s due to WW2 documentaries 2001: Navajo vets receive Congressional Gold Medals 2002: Congress passed Code Talkers Recognition Act to honor Code Talkers

Why It Mattered One of the first steps in mending a turbulent past with the US Government Broke stereotypes Proved their worth as fighting men, and Americans who were willing to die for their country Many young American lives were saved

WW2 Hall of Fame Code never broken Peace between Americans and Native Americans Major help to US victory
