Navajo Code Talkers... Warriors For America "Our Mother"

[@anitainmo489]

Serving a country that has mistreated them says a lot of our Indigenous Peoples integrity and love of the land. This is true patriotism.

This was in a time when the military was still segregated too. The Navajo code talkers were setting some firsts joining the Marines. Nowadays as I've heard it said the only color the Corps sees is green and Marines all bleed red.

As a retired United States Marine, I say thank you to a Navajos for your love of your country. During the my 21 years of service, I had the distinct pleasure to work with several Navajos in my different unit during my career. Outstanding warriors, all of them! The is no doubt in my mind that the Codetalkers made the difference between defeat and victory for the United States in World War II. God Bless you all!

[@Sternodox]

What a great post! This retired USAF sergeant thanks both you and the Codetalkers for your dedication and service.

"Sterilization of Native American Women" Even after serving their country and offering our language as a tool we're still no more than an enemy to be dominated and cleansed from the land.

[@jackpinesavage1628]

Last year, I visited the Chippewa tribe's museum in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. I was talking with the lady who was working in the book store. She told me that they have classes there that teach their children their native language. She said she was not allowed to speak English when the children are there. I know the history of how children were punished for speaking a native language in public schools out West. It's beautiful children are learning to speak the language of their ancestors.

[@dawnewinonamoore9364]

[@lorinapetranova2607]

Wasn't just out West people couldn't speak their language. Also you'd be very shocked by all the slavery and murder in the SW by Anglos n Mormons n others Comanche Apache etc. It's documented in historical and Congregational records. Well worth the effort.

The Japanese captured a Navajo US Army soldier named Joe Kieyoomia in the Phillipines (they mistook him for being Japanese) and tried to have him decipher the Navajo Code but it was unintelligible to him. He understood Navajo but he obviously didn't have the appropriate training to decipher the messages. He told the Japanese it was nonsense and they tortured him because they thought he was lying. 😶

[@pamelameckley5040]

I'm saddened by what Joe Kieyoomia had to endure and if I could, I would personally thank him for his service. From where he is now, with the Holy People, my utmost respect and gratitude, along with the rest of the Navajo code talkers.

[@robertwilkins3167]

@@pamelameckley5040 The Japanese thought Joe Kieyoomia was a Japanese serving in US Army (and hence a traitor to Japan). He was eventually able to convince the Japanese of his Navajo heritage and when the Japanese code-breakers figured out the Americans were using a Navajo code they tried to pump him for information and, not believing him when he said it was nonsense to him, they tortured him. Brutal stuff but it's pretty obvious the Japanese were a nasty bunch during the war. He also survived the Bataan Death March and the Nagasaki bombing (there were Allied POWs in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, something which is never mentioned when the talking heads say how dropping the A-bombs helped win the war and save Allied lives- except those Allied lives that were in POW camps in the two cities that got A-bombed) which, if he was Japanese, would make him something of a pariah. If any man deserved an award of some kind he certainly does. You can Both of my grandfathers served in the war (one in the Pacific in the Navy and another in Europe in the Army). I have the utmost respect for the men who served in the war.

Maybe. But the Code the Code Talkers talked was not just the Dine' language but a code based on it. The Japanese captured and tortured some Navajos who were not code talkers and forced them to translate, but they could not guess what the meanings were. Also, the Marine Corps designated a handler to each code talker or team, called a ''Cowboy'' whose job was the security of the talker or team. If they were about to be captured, he was to shoot them, so they wouldn't be tortured and turned by the Japanese. The Germans have been interested in the Dine' cousins, the Shis 'N-de, or Apaches, since the 10 Pfennig novels of Karl Mai in the late 19th Century. Apache is another Athabaskan language, but different. Battlefield comm is now cyber-encrypted, so it's really a hacker's game, anyway.
