Navajo Code Talkers Day

See below for photo credit.

Today is #NavajoCodeTalkersDay. It is a day to remember the once top-secret group, the Navajo Code Talkers. In turn, we also celebrate all #IndigenousLanguages.

Navajo Code Talkers Day was established by a proclamation made by President Ronald Reagan in 1982.

Do you have any memories or stories about the #NavajoCodeTalkers?

Would you like to share those stories with us?

Do you have stories about #LakotaLanguage?

We would love to share them! Email your submissions and/or photos to office@westrivereagle.com. (*Link in bio*)
