And it inspired me to write about their culture and their importance during WWII as Code Talkers creating an unbreakable code. Read about the Navajo Nation itself and learn how their language helped to bring victory to the United States over Japan in the South Pacific.

In the early 1800s (1830s – 1860s) it has been estimated that as many as 300,000 men and women may have traveled from the eastern States to the unknown lands of the American west.

A morning of mist. A single foot on sand. On 12 October 1492, a navigator who thought he’d found Asia set a map tilted on its axis. Two worlds met without a common language.
