Code Talkers In Native American History

Although throughout history the goverment took advantage of the Native Americans, suprisingly they answered the call of duty to fight for their country in the 1940's. The code talkers are a main part of the victory in World War II. They used a secret code no one could break. The code talkers were made of classified tribes that no one knew about until they were declassified years after the war was over. The Native American code talkers were important because no one could break their code. The tribes included were the Navajo, the Comanche, and the Choctaw.

Under German fire Comanche code talkers laid communication lines and began sending messages in a form never before heard by the German
