Who were the first Code Talkers?
The code-talkers of World War II mostly refer to the Native Americans who used parts of their indigenous languages to translate secret tactical messages into code, then decipher the code back into the message. They were used in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and, to a lesser extent, in the European Theater. The most decorated Native American code-talkers were Navajo, but Native Americans of the Comanche and Meskwaki people also served as code-talkers during the war.

Who was called the buffalo by Indians in World War 2?
It think the Navajo Code Talkers used the term Buffalo to mean the Japanese or the Admiral of the Pacific Fleet. I can't remember. It could have been a reference to the 24th Infantry Regiment in the Pacific Theater. I have included a link for you to give you an idea about the buffalo soldiers. Scroll down to World War 2 on the site. There are many sites about the Navajo Code talkers and a movie too.
When did the ceremony to honor the Navajo Codetalkers take place?
Because the code was classified until 1968 the code talkers did not get early recognition, although they were featured in the 1959 movie, "Never so Few" and the 1949, "Sands of Iwo Jima". In 1982 (fourteen years after being declassified) they were given a Certificate of Recognition and August 14, 1982 "Navajo Code Talkers Day". In December 21, 2000, Bill Clinton signed, Public Law 106-554, 114 Statute 2763. It gave the Congressional Gold medal to the original 29 World War II Navajo code talkers, and Silver medals to each person who qualified as a Navajo code talker (approximately 300 were still alive). The Presentation ceremony was in July 2001.

What was the first movie to show the Navajo Code Talkers?
Bobbie, I don't know that movie, sounds like a good one though. Certainly the Navaho Code Talkers were not actually used in the European theater. There were Comanche code talkers of the 4th Signal Company used at Utah beach in the Normandy invasion. There were twenty-seven Meskwaki in North Africa against the Germans. There also were 14 Choctaw in WWI in the Army's 36th Infantry Division. However, there were no films about them.I think they were referred to briefly in "The Sands of Iwo Jima". There is a scene where the Americans need to send a signal and be sure the Japanese can't understand it so one character says to go get so and so because he is Navaho. "Yeah," says another character, "Those Japs don't savvy Navaho!" Then you see the Indian soldier sending the message in Navaho. I know I remember the scene and I *think* it is in "Sands of Iwo Jima" but I could be wrong. Michael Montagne.The 1959 movie ( ten years after "Sands") "Never So Few" features Charles Bronson as Sgt. John Danforth, a Navajo code talker.AnswerYou are right. It was the Sands Of Iwo Jima.AnswerThe Navajo Code Talkers were used in every allied assualt from 42 to 45 and were mentioned in Sands of Iwo Jima but the first whole movie about them was Windtalkers.
