Native American Code Talkers of World War 1 and World War 2

Native American Code Talkers of World War 1 and World War 2

On Traveling Through History, we go into a fascinating topic from our history we looked at briefly in our Code Breakers episode, which is the Native American tribes involvement in World War 1 and World War 2 as "code talkers," giving the Americans and Allies a decided advantage over Germany and Japan and the axis allies, because they created communications that were unbreakable.

A code talker was a person employed by the military during wartime to use a little-known language as a means of secret communication.  The term is most often used for United States service members during the World Wars who used their knowledge of Native American languages as a basis to transmit coded messages.  In particular, there were approximately 400 to 500 Native Americans in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was to transmit secret tactical messages.  Code talkers transmitted messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formally or informally developed codes built upon their indigenous languages.  The code talkers improved the speed of encryption and decryption of communications in front line operations during World War 1 and World War 2 and are credited with some decisive victories. Their code was never broken.  We highlight 7 of the Native American tribes that made a huge impact on both world wars, but there were many other tribes who had a role as well.
