Many have heard of the WWII Navajo Code Talkers. I was not aware that there was a group of WWI Choctaw Code Talkers. There are some good backstories in this.

Smh, our government is such a joke right now. Letting AI edit government websites, real bright idea.

"White House officials informed the Navajo Nation that an artificial intelligence-powered automated review process looking for content with DEI initiatives led to the elimination of anything mentioning “Navajo,” according to a statement from Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren."

Uncover the hidden heroes of WWII! Heather Cox Richardson reveals the **Code Talkers**, Indigenous Americans who utilized their native languages for crucial military communications. Their vital history is at risk of erasure amid recent trends de-emphasizing diverse contributions in favor of a narrow narrative.

Proud to have had the chance to work the #codetalkers special event station earlier this year and get a #qsl #hamradio

whoa I just had a QSO on 20m with Herb N7HG running the Dine' Code Talker Special Event station N7C. I feel giddy like a novice again. 😆 I haven't had a SSB contact in ages and I spoke with the code talker team last year about having our students in the @nrao_hamradio project get QSL cards just for listening in! Great team, great special event station! #hamradio #navajo #codetalkers #USmarines

Why #Navajo is the world’s hardest language to learn
The tonal #NativeAmerican #language differentiates words based on #pitch and makes Spanish conjugation look like child’s play.by Tim Brinkhof, November 27, 2023
"Concentrated in #Arizona and #NewMexico, the Navajo are one of the largest Native American groups in the United States. Consisting of up to 400,000 tribal members, they are thought to have originated from northwestern #Canada and were forcibly moved to their present location by the federal government in the 1860s during #TheLongWalk.
"Traditional Navajo families live in circular mud-and-log homes called hogans, create intricate ceremonial paintings made of sand, and hold four-day runs (a ritual called kinaalda) to celebrate young girls turning into adult women.
"Arguably, the most important aspect of Navajo culture is their language. Also known as #Diné #Bizaad (the “people’s language”), Navajo is similar to #Apache, from which it separated between 1300 and 1525 AD. Both Navajo and Apache belong to a language family called #Athabaskan, which, providing evidence for their geographic origin, is also spoken by native tribes in #Yukon, #Alaska, and #BritishColumbia. As with other Native American languages, #globalization and #discrimination threaten Navajo’s survival. In 2017, the number of fluent speakers was estimated at 170,000, less than half of the tribe’s population.
"Learning Navajo isn’t easy. Compared to other complicated but more widely spoken languages, like Korean or Arabic, there are limited resources available to non-speakers. Mastery of Navajo language also requires a level of familiarity with Navajo customs, something even some Indigenous people no longer have access to.
"That said, the most daunting aspect of learning Navajo is the language itself. Described by linguists Robert W. Young and William Morgan as a 'hopeless maze of irregularities,' its unique grammar, syntax, and tonal pronunciation are so indecipherable to outsiders that, during the Second World War, the American army used Navajo as a form of military code."

You may remember this famous moment early in the T**** presidency where he honored two Navajo #CodeTalkers (an event pre-aranged under #Obama) where he called Sen. Warren "#Pocahontas" at a ceremony beneath a portrait of Andrew "Trail-of-Tears" Jackson. 😒 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/11/28/andrew-jackson-was-called-indian-killer-trump-honored-navajos-in-front-of-his-portrait/
