Thesis Statement
The Navajo Code Talkers were a group of United States Marines from the Navajo Native American tribe that used the Navajo language to send encoded messages to other Marines in the Pacific during WWII. The Navajo Code Talkers communicated with each other in their native tongue, giving America a strategic advantage over its enemies, allowing multiple victories and delivering the only uncracked code in military history.
