Indians, native
- During World War I, the language of the Choctaw Indians was used to encode messages,
- But that in World War II, the language of the Navajo Indians was used. The Navajo language was considered by the Japanese to be an “unbreakable” code.
- During the battle of Iwo Jima, Navajo code-talkers sent and received over 800 messages without any errors and without computers. There were only 6 of them!

This just goes to show how deep the Indigenous culture is and the sad fact that it is being lost to the westernization. Imagine how bad it must be if only 6 people in the world can become Navajo code-talkers. I can only speak English, but I really admire people who can speak different languages
