Yes. Choctaw Code Talkers for their 'Code Talkin' in WWI. Navajo recieved the same for their Code Talkin' in WWII. Choctaw want to be recognized for Code Talkin' first as Miko stated out here in Washington State. Choctaw Code Talkers were on the European Continent during WWI, which is where most of that war was fought. Nonetheless, Indian Country has something even more to be proud of. Their men are very brave. If I remember right the story goes that Choctaw boys were speaking amoungst each other just because they were homesick and they decided to pass messages back and forth to fool the enemy, maybe the Russians? By WWII most of European enemies had learned the Muskogeon languages and the Deneh (Navajo) were used. The Japanes spent most of the South Pacific fighting trying to figure that one out. The Dineh still try to keep their language to themselves. I love a good warrior. Not only does he take care of his own family, but he takes care of his community.
