    The Pacific Theater was the site of a great many bloody battles in World War Two. The one most revered by the American people today is Iwo Jima, but there is a slew of other battles in which the Navajos were instrumental to including: Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and the Saipan. Every campaign which the United States began from 1942 through 1945 implemented the use of the navajo code talkers. Without these key battles the War in the Pacific would undoubtedly have been lost, and therefore would have crippled the Allies fight against the nation of Japan.…

    The Navajo code talkers are one of the main reasons why the United States conquered Japan and Germany in World War II. During World War II , both Germany and Japan thought they had such unbreakable codes, but infact, these codes were broken and their most vital information was released to the enemy. A variety of techniques were used to meet the goal that the code talkers pursued and overall, code and code breaking during World War II changed the outcome of the war, and helped led the United States to victory. Code talkers had complex ways to send and receive messages. When received a message by radio or telephone, all that could be heard was a fragment of Navajo words.…

    Though attempts were made to preserve the indigenous cultures, certain parts of the native history are lost when events are only observed from the lens of wealthy white men. The Nahua, for example, gradually adopted the Spanish language as well as ethics derived from Christianity, letting go of a large portion of their native identity. The influence of gender was also altered upon facing European influence, and Townsend emphasizes the paradoxical nature of post-conquest indigenous life — some aspects of their lives changed drastically while some remained constant. She says, “The Indians were violently defeated; the Indians could never be permanently defeated” (177). The Nahua people, therefore, cannot merely be viewed as victims, but the narrative also cannot be blind to their suffering.…

    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures. For some Native peoples, their very survival is dependent on preserving their language and particular ways of life. While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

    Who would have known that the language of Native Americans, created hundreds of years before the founding of our nation, would prove to be one of America's greatest secret weapons? The Japanese cracked every code that the Army and Navy came up with, but not the Navajo code. Navajo is a spoken language handed down orally from generation to generation. The Code Talkers created a system of native words to represent characters of the English alphabet so that they could spell out English words that had no Navajo equivalent.…

    The Navajo and Apache Tribes are descendants from other Native Peoples from Northern Canada. Both Tribes have their own unique history which can be used still to this day especially because both the Navajo, and Apache arrived in what is known today as the Great Plains prior to Spain and Europe settlements.

    Learning others’ languages and becoming one with nature could bring us together. I believe it is important that we as a society acknowledge native languages; the native dialect is more important than people think. For native tribes, language is everything to them. It’s a way of communication, and a huge part of their culture. Without it, future generations will lose connectivity to their ancestors.…

    Indifferences of Prejudices The article by Zanottini was published by the pacific standard. Basically, this article is about the manner in which people look negatively at other forms of English that are somewhat not prestigious. According to Zanottini the prejudice that is usually demonstrated by people who usually speak correct English is just a reflection of their bias against the groups of people who speak the non-prestigious English. Apart from that, she puts across the idea that the numerous grammatical errors in how such people speak are actually a recipe that is well developed in its own to suite the wide variety of English speakers.…

    MNN states that “Nez was the last living member of the first group of Navajo code talkers, a group of Native Americans recruited into the United States Marine Corps as a secret weapon to help win World War II.
