25th Navajo Nation Council honors courage and legacy of Navajo Code Talkers
Today, the 25th Navajo Nation Council proudly honors the Navajo Code Talkers for their courageous service and sacrifice during World War II.
These young Diné men answered the call to serve and used the strength of Diné bizaad to create a code that helped protect lives and contributed to the Allied victory in the Pacific. Their legacy reflects the resilience, strength and determination of the Navajo people.
On Navajo Nation Code Talker Day, we honor those who served, remember those who have passed on, and recognize the surviving Code Talkers and their families. We carry their legacy forward by preserving our language, culture and identity for future generations.
Ahéhee’ to our Navajo Code Talkers for their service and sacrifice.
