I had the impression that the Navajo Indians were the first and only Indian code-talkers. They fought in the Pacific and there was a movie made of their exploits. I was surprised to find that Choctaw soldiers in World War I in France actually were the first code-talkers. They used the Choctaw language.
There is a monument in honor on their World War I Service in Tuskahoma, Oklahoma. I may visit the Memorial if I make the fall trip to Alex.
My children should be proud of their Choctaw heritage.
I know I am!
