Honoring the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II - In-person

Native American Heritage Month Films

Short films honoring the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II

FILM SHOWING:
Navajo Code Talkers were heroes during World War II.  Navajo, a spoken not written language, was used by specially recruited Native American men to develop a secret code to communicate with fellow soldiers in the Pacific battlefield.  This code was extremely hard for enemy interceptors to break, helping turn the tide for the Allies in the War.  We will be viewing two short films.
