EP 131: The Navajo Code Talkers

Welcome back for Season Fourteen of the Hashtag History podcast! As tradition dictates, the first episode of every season is a Leah Takeover Episode!


This week on Hashtag History, we will be diving into a very specific and very niche portion of World War II History: The Navajo Code Talkers.


For those of you unfamiliar with the Navajo Code Talkers, they were a group of over 400 Navajo men recruited by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to create a code for war correspondence based on their very complex native language. Despite their courage and willingness to utilize their native language for the success of the United States' war effort, their contributions would go almost thirty years without recognition due to the secrecy of the Navajo Code Talker program.
