NEW CODE TALKERS EXHIBIT AT FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM
A new exhibit recently added at the Frisco Native American Museum
& Natural History Center has generated a great deal of interest.
In a U shaped space fi lled with military hats, two fi gures evoke
memories of World War II. The kneeling soldier represents a Native
American code talker– a warrior with a very special mission. Native
Americans have the highest record of military service of any ethnic
group in the U.S. The title of “warrior” must be earned and represents
much more than fi ghting enemies. It is granted to individuals
who are respected and celebrated for demonstrating strength,
dedication, wisdom and courage in all matters.
A number of Choctaw soldiers demonstrated those qualities during
World War l. At a desperate time for America, the Choctaw used
their native language to create an accurate and unbreakable code.
During the war, a total of 12 other Native American nations joined
them to use their languages, and code talking was expanded during
World War II to include a total of 33 different nations. Their codes
were never broken and were responsible for saving countless lives.
In 2013 Congressional Gold Medals with a unique design were
awarded to each tribe. At the ceremony Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid said: “In this nation’s hour of greatest need . . . the
United States turned to a people and a language they had tried to
eradicate.”
In addition to the head gear donated by Native Americans serving
in the military, the museum exhibit includes samples of medals and
provides opportunities for individuals to participate by donating medals
that are currently not on display.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located on
Hatteras Island. For more information, visit the web site at www.
