navajo code talkers


Describe the life of the Navajo Code Talkers when they were children growing up.

- In this video Keith M. Little who was the code talkers during the ww2 shared his experience. He was in the boarding school at Ganado Mission school. He mention that the school copied military displain. The children were under the strict rules.


Compare the attitudes toward the Navajo language before and after WWII.

- When he was in the boarding school if he speaks Navajo language he will be punish. But during the war, it changed because American get interested in Navajo language and started using the Navajo language as a secret code.


How did the code work and why do you think it was so successful?

-I think it was successful because the enemies can't figure out if they are not Navajo.


The video leaves us hanging....We know the allies won the war, but what happened to the Navajo Code talkers when they got home from the war? Were they given a hero's welcome? (Hint: you will need to do some research of your own)

-   in 2000 the Navajo code talkers were recognized for their service and awarded with medals
