on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest• In May 1942, the first 29 Navajo recruits created

the Navajo code• They developed a dictionary and numerous words

for military terms

Navajo Code Talkers JobThe primary job to talk, transmit information on tactics and troop

movements Receive and take orders and other vital battlefield

communications over telephones and radios..The Navajo Code Talker's Dictionary• The code talker first had to translate each Navajo word

into its English equivalent • Then he used only the first letter of the English equivalent

in spelling an English word. Example: the Navajo words "wol-la-chee" (ant), "be-la-sana" (apple) and "tse-nill" (axe) all stood for the letter "a."
