After the 9/11 attacks, Clarence Wolf Guts, a Lakota code talker who served in France during WW2 asked his son to contact the Department of Defense to see if they required his services as a Code Talker.

A number of years ago I had the privilege to go to a veteran's dinner when 2 of the very few (at that time) still living Code Talkers walked in. What had been a room filled with lively conversation went completely silent as everyone stood respectfully as the men made their way slowly to a table. It was incredible to see the respect shown by all present, some of whom were at least of the same age if not older, and some who struggled to stand from wheelchairs. As they passed within a couple of feet of me, I was humbled to be so close to such greatness and bravery.

She was executive secretary to the base commander. Just months before she died I found some very old newspaper clippings in a scrapbook she had that detailed disasters she lived through at the Marine Corps air station in So. Cal.

Here's a fact.... The Navajo Code Talkers were the ONLY ones that developed their own code. It's a code within a code, a true unbreakable code. The other 32 native tribes used their own language, WITHOUT any encoding, they used direct translation of words. Yes, there were 32 other native tribes that transmitted messages, BUT, not in CODE. Currently there are only 2 true remaining Navajo Code Talkers, Thomas H, Begay and John Kinsel, both are combat veterans of WW2. Thomas also served in the Korean War. The other that was trained as a radio operator-code talker and DID NOT see combat in WW2 was Peter MacDonald. Another fact is.... The Navajo Code was NEVER USED in the Korean War or in the Vietnam War.

This country should start protesting how the Native Americans are treated in this country. There land was stolen from them, they were put on reservations and their kids went to schools were they were forced to speak English even with family and friends and not speak in their own language in private. They buffalo were slaughtered so their food source was gone. Then there was the trail of Tears march. They are the ones that are really forgotten about. Most of the kids learn about native Americans from movies or history lesson that are very bais what they are taught about the Native Americans.

At boot camp, when it came to the swimming part, almost all the young Navajo recruits sunk immediately. They all later learned how to swim. When he was asked why he enlisted in the Marines, he responded, “to protect Mother Earth”, remember, they weren’t considered as American citizens.

@@marciewright9670 There's truth there, and as you probably know, much of the US Constitution was based on the constitution of the Iroquois Confederation, which also begins "We the people ..." They invented the three branches of government, and relied on voting, although they went the US one better and granted women the right to vote and to speak during policy debates. But Native Americans *were* granted US citizenship in 1924. Much like the later travails of Blacks, they were often *illegally* denied rights, and their fellow citizens often considered them unfit for citizenship. But the fact remains, Native Americans were granted US citizenship by the Snyder Act of 1924.

It was a big kept Secret since it was very important to why we did so well. Including some surprise attacks during that War thanks to it never being Cracked, then going into the Cold War, now I'm not sure but I think they continued to use it for some time after the WWII, that's why it took awhile to Declassify it.

It is a complicated issue, but today, native Americans (as a blanket statement identification) are still discriminated upon. That discrimination, profiling & prejudice might be less nowadays, but back then after WWII, it was still a lot, even if the code talker mission was declassified immediately, back when Jim Crow mentality was still at its peak. That is partly the reason why these accomplishments weren't recognized until with Bush Jr & Trump, 3-5 decades later after official declassification & when only a few of the talkers still remained. Today, native Americans are made fun of owning casinos, not to mention usage of their imagery & names that were mostly considered discriminatory in the first place (some natives were ok with it but not all), e.g. NFL Washington Redskins which eventually renamed Commanders recently, but only after nearly 90 years.

Do a little research and see how neglected natives are whether it be Native-Americans or Alaska Natives. Just to touch up on OBDave's comment about them being forgotten.

Great stuff, this! I've wondered if the secret powers that be have ever tried to invent a completely new language (NOT Esperanto).

There's so many stories from WWI and WWII that need to be told more often, so many being lost to time. I'm glad we at least have the Windtalkers movie to remember them. It would be nice if we could get something more modern, too. You guys should look up Battle of Castle Itter, it's one of two times Allied and German forces fought alongside each other against SS divisions in WWII.

Interesting that the Navajo language is tonal like some Asian languages when you consider that the first Native Americans entered North America from Asia across the Bering Strait.

I've met that first actor you showed (Ind'n Country is kind of a small world). He's not Navajo, but is a very good actor. Many Tribal Nations are losing their languages. Those are the same tribes that have expanded their blood quantum. Which languages will survive? Navajo and Mississippi Choctaw. No the photo is not of torture. It is of a religious ceremony on the Rez. The interesting thing, almost secret, is that versions of Dine' are spoken in Alaska, Canada, and Siberia.

Could the British military use a similar tactic by using Welsh and Scottish Celtic code talkers in the 21st century ? I'm a US Navy veteran Operations Specialist , and I realize that most voice communications are encrypted . But if encryption is somehow broken , a code talker could be useful .

My southern brothers and the Canadian boys my area did some good jobs but I’d bet my soul that they didn’t fight for the government they fought for family because we saw just how dangerous these world wars were and even our home land North America continent isn’t invincible to invasion…so they fought for family and the land…the government abused and literally imprisoned family’s to solve the “native problem” in North America and the US and Canadian worked together in that regard…even up to the 1960’s maybe 1970’s I didn’t want to know more because I’m 32 and my mother and father and everyone else I knew had parents who were taken as kids and they tried to beat the culture out of us…and don’t even get me started on the mass graves across Canada that’s currently being found literally everywhere…all kids
