What tribe did the code talkers come from?
The code talkers of WWII were from the Navajo tribe. Navajo has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest.

The idea to use Navajo for secure communications came from Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary to the Navajos.
How many were Menominee code talkers were there?
The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin (MITW) has five (5) tribal members officially recognized by the federal government as serving as code talkers in WWII. They were honored in November 2013 in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. along with 211 other code talkers from 31 other tribes. It is important to note that there were other tribes than just the Navajo who served as code talkers. In May 2014 the five were honored by the Veterans of the Menominee Nation (VMN) and the Menominee Indian Tribe at the 25th annual Gathering of Warriors Powwow in Keshena, Wisconsin. Family members of the Menominee code talkers were presented with medals specially designed for the code talkers by the U.S. Mint. They also were presented with an eagle feather by VMN and danced to a special honor song for them at the ceremony. VMN and Department of Defense are continuing their research on other Menominee tribal members who served as code talkers. The ongoing research shows there maybe four to five other tribal members who served and/or trained as code talkers.
