The year was 1942. We were in the midst of World War II. Japanese and German forces were tapping into the United States’ communication line. U.S. Marines had discovered a group of Native Americans, namely the Navajos who used a language with no written alphabet. These men were called Code Talkers. They were able to encrypt and transmit secret allied messages to the battlefield in their traditional language. The irony was that some of these men were punished during their youth at Government Boarding Schools for speaking their language!
