The Native American Code Japan Could Never Break In WWII – And Why The Men Behind It Were Ordered To Stay Silent
The film has been made.
The museum exhibits have been installed.
The story is done.
The language is not done.
The community that produced the Code Talkers is not done.
The history that made the Code Talker program possible — the boarding school era, the suppression of Native languages, the specific circumstances of Navajo life in the 1930s and 1940s that shaped the men who served — is not a concluded chapter but a living context that continues to shape the lives of Diné people.
