Ok I think that this is very important. I don't think we could have won WW2 without the code talkers: Japanese kept breaking every American code that we could come up with and Japanese that spoke perfect English made us attack ourselves, but when the Native American Navajo language, Diné Bizaad, was used the Japanese couldn't crack it. The Japanese even captured code talkers to torment the code out of them, but since the code was based on their language which was the most sacred and last thing they had, even though the US school system forbid students to speak it. I just think that it is an important topic and we, the US, really don't recognize it and some don't even know about it.
