The 1st code talkers were Cherokee in WW1, not WW11. The government did NOT recognize them until the 1980s, sad but typical. The Chickasaws weren't recognize either nor wereThe Choctaws for their code talking. Navajo saved lives is not disputed but they weren't the 1st. All tribes fought in all the wars because it was our country 1st & Natives are patriotic.

M, I did not know that. thanx! always heard you had to be born speaking Welsh, you couldn't learn it. Terry Jones was Welsh, wasn't he?

mammy1027, yes 👍

may I point out that from (I think) 1941 the British RAF began using Welsh speakers as radio operators in Bomber Command to prevent German eavesdropping & interference.
A problem was the shortage of Welsh speakers due to centuries of the language being discouraged.

EsenMau, We owe those tribes a lot! And should do more for them...little has been done to compensate them.

Player #39667306, the first paragraph of the explanation credits the Choctaw and Cherokee for their codetalking in WWI.
