Caroline: Wind Talkers

[|Navajos Language]

Wind Talkers or Code Talkers were Navajos Indians that used their language as a code for WWII. It was the only code that the Japanese did not figure out and that is because it was not a written language. To figure out a code like that a person has to listen and only listen which is really hard to do. These indians were schooled for months on how to use the radios and which words in their language were made to be which military code words. [|Navajos Code Talkers] They were each given a guard. Their guards had two purposes one, keep them alive and talking, and two, keep them out of Japanese hands. That meant kill them if they were going to be captured. The knew recruits were another thing to worry about because they thought that the code talkers were Japanese when they were fighting. The radios were big and were carried on their backs. There was one code talker in each unit so that communication was kept up. Also, there were even Code talkers who recived nation medals for their services to the war. [|The Radio]
