Experiences of the Navajo Code Talkers in World War Two

Abstract

The project for the Student Conference is on the experiences of the Navajo Code Talkers. Those were a group of Native Americans trained to use their language to help the American military fight against the Japanese in the Pacific during World War Two. The objective of the presentation will be to focus on their experiences of the war aside from their tasks of delivering and receiving messages. Attention will be focused on their activities during their training, ones during the island campaigns, and finally on the ones during the postwar years and the effects they had on the group.
