Navajo Code Talkers

[royalT441]

I really like to learn the language of the navajo. It's hard with no teacher.

[eatprayqweef78]

they call a White man a Patriot for protecting his land

Then they call a Native American a Murderer for protecting his land

[Agent0613]

@eatprayqweef78 True.

[Agent0613]

@eatprayqweef78 true

NAVAJO PRIDE

[thebritish25]

Fact: before the outbreak of war hitler sent people to study the Navajo languge as he knew that America used it in the previous war but it was to difficult for them to learn and they went back to the fuher faliures.

Good bless all the native americans who died goodbless Ira Hayes.

[FlyinTwinky]

Love the end. We are the Navajo Code Talkers. Ha'goone. (Goodbye)

[happysimpson2001]

4/4 blood navajo very proud of it .keep navajo blood running ( dine" nation)

[jake666thehellion]

Im Coastal Salish, Lummi Nation, Washington state. I feel these people are the ONLY heroes in WW2. I know a godamn veitnamese man who is paid well for being a mole during that war. What was given to the Dine'? SHIT. Fuck Amerikkka, I love the people, but the system, the institutions, the military can suck my fuckin dick. The irony about these heroes; they were sent in to stop a nation from taking the land from other nations. FTW!!!!! These men deserve your godamn respect. I love them.

[cosette1950]

We were lucky to have such brave young men thank the gods fro the navaho Code Brakers

[tainoculture]

@cosette1950 AMERICA DID NOTHING FOR US BUT EVERY THINK TO US YOU DONT deserve WHAT OUR PEOPLE DO FOR YOU

[janeknisely]

The very last of those wonderful young men died today. Thank you for making and posting this video. Maybe now these brave and humble souls will occupy the place in the history of the Second World War that they have deserved for almost 70 years.

[beone011]

Long live the Navajo (Dine') Nation!!!!!!!!

[TheUsmcmom]

beautiful...they were recognized again at the Arizona National Cemetery this Memorial Day to a nice round of cheering and applause. I remember some years back one of them sang a song in Navajo. It brought tears to many. Their involvement in WWII was classified for many years.

[PIMpPoseidon]

im doing a report on ww2, i never knew how a little known thing such as this could have influenced and turned the tide of the second great war as it did

[TheTwiggyMarie]

whats the music of it? could i have it? (:

[bgsproductions]

The music is "Code Talkers" by Jack Gladstone.

[100ljgibbs]

this song touches my heart

[detman700]

thank you code talker

[sheleavitt06]

Thank you Code Talkers. We really appreciate your service:)

[wolfasisx3]

[lander4545]

The use of the Navajo language in WW11 was shear brilliance!

[PIMpPoseidon]

@lander4545: world war eleven? i didnt even know there was a world war three, let alone four through eleven

[hidatsaNDN]

Semper Fi!!!

[joyfullxbox]

the book "Code Talkers" is very good with scenes from D-Day and Iwo Jima and other battles

[darksorceressharuko]

This song brings back sooo many memories! This guy actually came to sing at my elementary school when I was in 3rd grade I think... One of the people who influenced me to learn more about history and to pursue a career in singing. I thank you, Jack Gladstone!

[Julian1607]

The song in incorrect the U.S. goverment was training the code talkers before Dec.1941 ,at Camp Elliot ,Calif, I know this from my Dad Lonnie Massey ,Good friend of Wilsie Bitsie RIP. ,My Dad Servied 38-59 ,Mustang Ret Capt.U.S.M.C Taught the Navajo to repair the TBY. TBX and spam can. He is now 91 and he is now only speaking of the horror of what he saw and did, He was in charge of the repair hut by Hutchison field , Contact me Julian massey Face book

[austinleegreen]

ya see we used to piss on the navajos and we thought that they were worthless,but in 1942 we asked them to aid us in war and they helped thats how navajos r the bigger person

[Radicals888]

Thank you Oh great Navajo Code Talkers. May the USA someday raise up and become worthy of what you did for this nation during WW2

[hutigg]

I agree. Long live the Navajo's.

[hutigg]

Exactly, we owe them our lives.

[m0nk3ygm07]

aoo' ahe'he I serve my country for my people and these men

[123Navyfield]

IF it werent for the navajo we wont be here

[123Navyfield]

Iam Proad to be a Navajo

[VocalizedBoar]

I have been gifted with a sight from Mother Bear, to grant me a vision of the Realm of Spirits in which my spirit guardian,Raining Moon, had told Bouncing Lemur of the darkness in which my spirit fire must light up.

[AirborneIdentity]

sucks that ppl who served the nation have been shit on by ppl like rush limbaugh who calls native americans "clowns"

[no1reallycaresabout]

Thank you code talkers for saving U.S.A., but the guy who made this video should block these people who are making racist comments about each other. This Earth belongs to all of us, except for criminals and terrorists.

[thesavagelink]

my grat granddad was a Navajo Code Talkers

[wildcrazyndn]

navajos weren't the only codetalkers there over 19 other native tribes who were codetalkers choctaw were the 1st ones in world war 1.

[aurbenbuber]

Please, write the story of each of them,

keep the memory alive. Your story is a tresor of

humanity. See, i'm french and jew, so far away from you, about distance, and code talkers have always been heroes brighting in Universe for me.

Thank you to be who you are, and BRAVO.

(don't forget to write your story***)

ALL OUR RESPECT and ADMIRATION.

[dagger4ureye]

[chuckyreloaded]

nice video ... i watch the movie .... and is really good .... u.s marines was smarters ... and the enemy never understand the code .... good job ....

[ndnjr74]

The Navajo codetalkers were the few, the proud, the Marines.

[glonnie15]

I've been thinking alot lately about joining the United States Marine Corps. Because I have a need to serve my country and honor my Dine' heritage.

22 is not too old to join the Marines is it?

-Anthony Begay-

[tenfed1861]

Anthony,22 is perfect age for the Marines.Live up to your ancestors and the warrior code.

[coltzFreak01]

if you think it is the right thing to do!

[lunigal]

uba yaja jbi, exactkt, di bbit, NEVER doubt it.

[wildcrazyndn]

dis video is cool but i jus want everyone to kno dat ders was so many other codetalkers not jus navajo...wut about hopi, sioux, choctaw....navajos were not even da 1st code talkers it was da choctaw

[ndnjr74]

Navajo lanuage was the only lanuage the Japanese didn't understand and could not break.

[Deadzilla]

I think everyone knows that by now.

[wonderglory]

What's the song and who sings it? Those brave heroes could've protected my granduncle, who served as a U.S. Marine in the Pacific Theater during WWII.

[bgsproductions]

The song is "Code Talkers" by Jack Gladstone.

[lunigal]

I wonder why you say could have... as if they did not. Of course they did... tell us more about your Uncle..it is VIP...

[wonderglory]

My granduncle served in a different unit from the Navajo Code Talkers. Toward the end of the war, he was wounded in the leg. But he recovered, and won the Purple Heart. Later, my granduncle served in the Korean War. Thankfully, he survived.

[lunigal]

This is amazing . thanks for the answer. This music reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot??

[wonderglory]

The singer's name is Jack Gladstone. But he does sound a bit like Gordon Lightfoot.

[DoctorBudd]

Yeah and yet we Natives are still treated like shit and live in extreme poverty, but nevertheless, it's all good. You'll come around one day and realize that we are no different and just like you.

[debwinslow]

Awesome. Chills. Thank you so much! Is there a transcript I can use for social studies class?

[katkimo1]

I had read that other natives had participated as code talkers...I believe the commanches... wish there was more info on other natve code talkers, Im navajo and proud to know that My people helped out with the war...What is we had lost???

[thudor1]

We definitely WOULD have lost the war-and much more-if it hadn't been for your people! And yes, there were Commanche Code Talkers, but they worked for the Army. Their codename for Adolf Hitler was the Commanche phraise that translated "Crazy White Man".

[trixr4mee]

haha catchy tune

[adlereagle123]

At my school we have a thing called mahd heart lovelace books. Where kids vote for there favorite books and one of them was code talkers this year. Im reading it right now and it is really good.

[onetreehilladdic101]

can anyone tell me how i can put this video on a power point. its for a history fair project.

thanks get back like verry veryy soon. like in this week thanks:)

[bgsproductions]

If the computer you show the power point with has internet access, you should be able to create a link to the video in your presentation.

If that doesn't work you could also try converting the video to another format. Try googling "convert youtube videos" for further help with that.

[onetreehilladdic101]

thanks a ton :)

[dahwave]

You can use the application "tubesock" to download and save all youtube videos. I use it all the time.

[supermubbles13]

@bgsproductions thank you. I now can enjoy all of my favorite youtube videos while away from a screen. =)

[TiffaniChan93]

This is really Awesome.

I'm doing my social studies project on the Navajo Code Talkers and their basic history.

[dedom171]

Force,Proud in Navajo.Natios indians org.Semper Fidelis in Adsumus.

[NikkiNanna]

Wonderful job,thank you

[sireontip]

I would agree there were other factors of the US victory, as well the foot soldiers protected the code even shoot the codetalker to protect. As strategies to brake japanese defenses and the medical personel. written by another navajo.

[alistairemacrae]

O my gosh. It upsets me when I read these coments and to read people say that the Navajo Code Talkers were the only reason that we won the war. Sure they were major contributers to American Sucess. But you need to look at things in context. Navajo's were not the only code talkers, and they only served in the Pacific Theatre against the Japanese. Some, like the Comanches, served elswhere like in the Europe on the Front lines against the Nazi Threat.

[alistairemacrae]

Plus, I notice that some people here are degrading the contribution of other non native american heroes. It was a conglomerate victory. Back then we could in no way significatly contribute to the war effort Financialy, nor produced any great minds that produced the H-bomb or other technical marvels. It saddens me to see people degrade the honor and sacrifice of anyone.

[alistairemacrae]

All in all though... this is a beautiful video... there is a time and place for it. :)

[alistairemacrae]

Kids shouldn't remind there elders of the things they don't want to remember. Its about respect, humility, and life. Death and destruction has no place in the beauty way of creation, as there is no place for beauty in the warrior way of desrtuction. The whole philosophy of Sa'a'naghai Bik'e Hozhon is alot more complicated than this. but this is how it applys to War.

[alistairemacrae]

I say that there sacrifice and strenghth should be remembered and imortalized in our oral tradition and in books. PErmantly and overtly tying the things they did to a place is not Navajo like at all. There are places where you go to be closer to Beauty that are well known, and secret places we go to remember death... it is a big part of our lives, but it should be a Sleeping Giant.

[alistairemacrae]

Actually there are lots of reasons why Won the War. And there were code talkers from other Tribes too. Not many people know that. Plus the traditional Navajo view of war is not the same as in other tribes. In some tribes its about Glory... for the traditional Navajo its about survival, killing, death, and becoming a Martyr. Then when you return home, you don't speake of it, let the warrior fade into obscurity, and let the good man or woman in you come out.

[123yei]

"becoming a martry?"...WTF!HAHA

[ZombieGuy1]

No, there were only Navajo code talkers. The Japanese knew every code we devised and had many men who were trained in every language. Navajo was the only language not learned because it was so difficult. You may have been thinking about WW1 not WW2.

[AZ2CA4LAMB32]

Great musical tribute!

[Nanzah]

The Code Talkers are the very reason that we won the fucking war!!! They should get more acknowlegement than they do.

[phaze1111]

beautiful=nizohni!!

[shotcalla2012]

hey NativeLee07 they didn't honor them till awhile after cuz they didn't want other countries to find out about their secret weapon.

[NativeLee07]

nd it fukin took 60 years 2 get they purple hearts......fuk tha white mann

[U2bCadet]

It's too sad that my history class, even this country doesn't acknowledge the Codetalkers very well. F***ing bilaganas.

[BURNHAMHOME]

I'm proud of my Navajo culture.

[RollingThunderHorse]

Wow! Awesome! And it took our country forever to honor these brave men whose native language helped us win the war! Wonderful tribute! Thanks for putting it together and sharing!

[alistairemacrae]

Navajo didn't become American till the 1920's

[joejackdude]

I think it was in 1954ish

[alistairemacrae]

Navajo's were first given the Privilige of becoming Citizen's during the WWI era. One of the Perks of joining was that when you were Discharged with Full Honors you were given Citezenry. It was not until the American Indain Citizen Act of 1924 that all Indains across the country became Citizens. ??? so where did 1954ish come from? Just curious?

[alistairemacrae]

OH and it wasn't until The American Indain Civil Rights Act of 1968 that Congress Had to finally say that yes Indains are garenteed the rights and privilidges OF U.S. Citizens, because they are Citizens.

[beepbeep262]

NICE! very cool!! :)

[Rezninja1]

I thanked them for fighting and making us proud to be Navajos, so stay in school, so we could be strong forever. NATIVE PRIDE!!!!!!

[tashaAta]

awesome vid...ah no doubt my great gramps was a code talker my gramBa Yoe...

[tetabiakti]

The Navajo Nation can be proud of its Code Talkers. They are a true role model!

[hewlee]

Yes true role models. FOR their time.. DONT join the military unless ou wanna fight for other countries. Our native america will dissappear unless we unite. United Native Americans. United we stand divided we fall.

[alistairemacrae]

BE proude to be an American First, cause thats whats alows us NOw to be who we are and is what gives us our rights... they are not natural, the government gives rights and privilidges to all its citizens.

[alistairemacrae]

I say this although I am Navajo because I could just have easily become Mexican, under who we would have assuradly have Dissapeared... sure glade I'm American and Not Mexican. And although I'm not in the armed services now, Respect to them. Only they realy deserve to be Citizens, IT should be mandatory I think that each citizen serve for some time in the Militaray.

[dinen8v]

AHO!

this video is good!

it makes me feel proud to be Dine' and makes me wanna watch windtalkers again!

aoo' nizhoni!

keep up the good work!

[gvhnagewohali]

I am not navaho, i am tsalagi. wado, for this video.

[aznavajon8tive]

Nice film, really catches the spirit. Wierd though during the time the navajos were asked to make a code using their native language the US govornment was telling them not to speak it. Think about it . . . .

[crazygirs13]

I'm a navajo and this video mad me sad. Now where i live navajos r forget their langauge.

[LUKASrocksPUNKS]

On dec.7 1941 the japps stroke our shore. Down in the mild high western desert home land of the red ass navaho. from there monkey talk they were told to make a code!!

[gvhnagewohali]

how dare you, u palefaced bastard! i hope owl follows you wherever you go!

[alacranu]

what's the owl thing? it's a bad sign or what? and it's a Native kind of curse?

[Hiraki666357]

I'm a Navajo, and this video fells me with pride!

[nelson050489]

I'm navajo and my grandfather was a Codetalker during World War II, his name is Merril Sandoval and i am very proud of him, maybe someday i can be like him. Semper Fi

[alistairemacrae]

Thats beautiful man.

[lgduboise]

Im Navajo two and im proud of the Code Talkers

[ciel0bleu23]

I'm Navajo... but i wish my parents taught me!!!

T_T makes me mad that they didn't teach me even though they could've. . . *sigh*

[Tralgit]

There is a very good movie about these code talkers, I think it's called: Windtalkers.

Something to remember!

[SydneyCSI]

* * * * *

[MayaRaimondo]

I am not Navajo. Heck, I'm not native. But this made me cry.

[keetawah]

kaoruneko16 good for you! One day you can teach your children and grandchildren your language and let them feel the pride of their forefathers too. People now days dont take pride in their heritage anymore.

[kaoruneko16]

Let me just say this. It really made me cry. I am a Navajo, that's why, and it really made me think about what they went through overseas. It is truly amazing what they did. And that's why I speak my native language.
