Navajo Code Talkers

Thursday April 24, 2008
In United States history, the story of Native Americans is predominantly tragic. Settlers took their land, misunderstood their customs, and killed them in the thousands. Then, during World War II, the U.S. government needed the Navajos' help. And though they had suffered greatly from this same government, Navajos proudly answered the call to duty.

I did the Navajo Code Talkers for a National History Day topic and I actually got to talk to one and their story is so interesting they really did a great thing for our country and they need to be recognized more.
