I'm full blooded Navajo and this story of our Navajo warriors is beyond heroic. Thank you for sharing this video. 🙏Ahèheé

I met a code talker out in New Mexico when i was an inlaw to the navajos, very humbling experience, I'll never forget it.

There was also Native American code talkers in WW1 also.

In the civil war the Union used Hungarians to translate morse code messages.

Our ancestors were fluent in navajo or Dine that what made us fluent

Thank you for honoring our ancestors 😃

Yes, amen. Many people do not know this. That's our family...

The future is native. The values and traditions of indigenous people will heal the earth and our hearts. I truly believe this. My grandfather is Ojibwe, and I'm a tribal member through him. I'm mostly white, but lots of tribal culture was carried on in my household. I struggle with mental health and feel like I don't belong because of my skin color. I know many won't accept me because I'm mixed. But the body is less important than the spirit that moves it. All living things are related to each other. We are all family. And when we learn to embrace love, a bright future will appear before us. Your ancestors walk with you. They believe in you. Miigwech! <3

Navajos mostly joined the Marines. Even today alot Navajos choose the Marine Corps over most other branches. Its apart of our history with code talkers.
Tank = turtle or turtle shell
Grenade = potatoe

And we even have the older navajo language that a few us know about...

[ghosts]

America use also Basque Code Talker in the Pacific during the WW2

This is so fucking cool. Glad you made this video and I could see

Diné is who we are!!! Diné Bizaad was illegal for the code talkers to speak as children. Navajo is the term the Spanish conquistadors used to describe my ancestors. Derived from navaja or "pocket knife". Shi eí Diné!!!
