World War I Choctaw Code Talkers

When World War I broke out, a lot of men from the Indian nation

Of Choctaw became volunteers for service in the U. S. military. The language

The Choctaws spoke was dead.

During World War I, with the hearing of phone lines, the Germans

Were able to learn the location of where the forces were as well as where

Supplies were kept. An idea was born — put the Choctaw Indians on the

Phones and let them talk in their Native speech. The German soldiers

Had never heard their language spoken before. These Choctaw speakers

Became Code Talkers.

The Indian’s vocabulary of military terms was poor. So they decided

to make new words. The Indian word for ≪big gun≫ indicated artillery,

≪little gun shoot fast≫ — machine gun, and three battalions were

≪one, two and three grains of corn≫.

When the Choctaw tongue was spoken over the field telephones, the

Germans stopped attacking the supply warehouses and counter-attacking

The American troops. The Choctaw nation is very proud of their

Code Talkers. There is a granite monument at the entrance of the Capitol

Grounds in Washington, DC with the engraved names of their men
