The name code talkers is strongly associated with bilingual Navajo speakers specially recruited during World War II by the Marines to serve in their standard communications units in the Pacific Theater. Code talking, however, was pioneered by the Cherokee and Choctaw peoples during World War I.

Your post reminded me - it was because there were so few Navajo speakers in the world at that time that they knew they could use them and the enemy wouldn’t be able to find themselves another Indian who could speak the same language.

That’s interesting... got any links, etc? I know some people here in Cherokee/Choctaw/Creek/Chickasaw/Seminole country who would be interested in it.
