Question

Answer 1

Navajo Indians

Answer 2

The members of the Navajo tribe were used as code talkers by the Marine Corps in the Pacific. The Army used Choctaw code talkers in Europe.

Answer 3

The Navajo Indians of the Southwest were a small and private band. They had a very complicated language they held as a privilege to speak it, almost in a spiritual way. This was used against the Japanese for radio transmissions during WW2 in the South Pacific by the Marines.

Answer 4

The Navajo.

Watch the Nicolas Cage movie Windtalkers. It is fictional but at the same time very educational. Especially the DVD extras.

E fn w;- There is no tribe called Choctaw Sioux. The Choctaw lived in the South East region and the Sioux lived in the area that became the Dakotas

Answer 5

It was the Navajo tribe, although I think the film that you are talking about is pretty weak, it should have been more about the Navajo soldiers rather than a vehicle for Nicolas Cage.

Answer 6

There were the three tribes used as code talkers in WWII: Comanche, Choctaw Sioux and other were also codetalkers, besides the celebrated Navajo.....

Answer 7

As many previous respondents have already iterated, the US military implemented Navajo code talkers in the Pacific. The US Marines used them extensively in communications to coordinate their military maneuvers.

To add additional information, Comanche was used in coded operations on the European side of things. The Comanche language had no equivalents for certain words in English, so substitutions were made. For example, "machine gun" became "sewing machine" (because of the noise) and "tank" became "turtle." I was amused to note that Hitler was "posah-tai-vo" which means "crazy white man."

The codes used by these respective tribes have the distinction of being unbroken during WW II. The complexity of these non-written oral languages and the fact that at the time so few non-natives were fluent in these languages contributed to the success of thwarting enemy code breakers.

Answer 8

I think it could have been the Nation of the Navajo [The Navajo Nation] who supplied the talkers who spoke the Navajo language which was not understood by the Japanese. Thus radio messages could be sent quickly between stations, knowing that the 'listening' Japanese could not translate same.

A friend of mine, no longer with us, a veteran of WW2 of the British Army, told me that the Navajo Nation and their Chiefs [Lords], had gathered to vote on the issue of going to war and decided to offer their services to the USA. Thus it goes- the Navajo voted to go to war and were not coerced in any way.
