The Navajo Code Talkers

During WWII, the U.S. Marines organized a special team of Navajo men who used their unknown language and put it into an ingenious code. This code was never broken, and it helped win the war in the Pacific theater against the Japanese. This presentation includes video Code Talker interviews and Ken’s time with Navajo people and two Code Talkers.

Ken Valles has participated in Mountain Man Rendezvous, visiting museums and sites around the world.
