What did they do? risteria_thomas22 https://padlet.com/risteria_thomas22/t789bndqx6huwb3b/wish/1422118389 Navajo Code Talkers were people hired by the US army who communicated with other lands using their unknown and unwritten language in 1940-42. During battle, one code talker would operate a portable radio while another person would translate the language into English. ]]> 2021-04-15 17:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/risteria_thomas22/t789bndqx6huwb3b/wish/1422118389 How did this come to be? risteria_thomas22 https://padlet.com/risteria_thomas22/t789bndqx6huwb3b/wish/1422261205 The U.S. Marines needed a form of communication that was nearly unbreakable so plans and ideas were not shared among parties that were not supposed to have it. The Marine Corps hired 29 Navajo men who based the language on Navajo. ]]> 2021-04-15 17:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/risteria_thomas22/t789bndqx6huwb3b/wish/1422261205 This is a picture in 2010 of two Code Talkers who served in the war.

If the codes were originally sent in English, it would've taken 30 minutes to decode because many people at once would have been rushing to find out what was being said and there just wouldn't have been a clear meaning. Navajo was so coded, that the talkers knew instantly what was being said and what was needed when codes were sent through. ]]> 2021-04-23 14:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/risteria_thomas22/t789bndqx6huwb3b/wish/1451994981
