What are the names of the existing Navajo code talkers in 2012?
As of late 2007, there are less than a handful of the original code talkers left but there are reported to be about 70 living from the 400 or so code talkers who were eventually employed by the government.
Are the Navajo secret codes still in use today?
No, the sole purpose was to create a code that the Japanese could not break. Once WW2 ended there was no further use for it. The Japanese were very good at breaking our codes, but when you used a "book code" with words of another language that they did not know it stymied them. The Navajo Code Talkers did not speak ordinary Navajo in their messages, they translated the messages to Navajo then encoded it using the memorized "book code" and spoke those Navajo words. Even when the Japanese had captured Navajo soldiers (who of course had no code talking training), they could recognize the words but the message was gibberish.

What are Navajo people known for?
Today, they are the largest tribe ( 300,000 in 2012) in the US with the largest land base (27,000 sq miles). They are important in Southwest American history ans culture. They were barely colonized and still live on part of their traditional lands so they retain most of their traditional culture, religion, philosophy and about 2/3 still speak the language. Their philosophy and world view are famous. They make famous jewelery, rug and blankets and art. The Code Talkers were a group of Navajo who the Marine recruited to create a code with Navajo at it's base to use in communications over radio in the assaults across the Pacific against the Japanese. It was fast and highly effective and never broken. It was instrumental in the US success. It was top secret until 1969. Today there are Navajo sports figures, artists, writers, poets, and scientists and political figures. i guess because of what they had to go through and how they still survive and they are still here...i guess...idk

What do Navajo live in in the winter?
Hogans are what traditional Navajo homes are called. In Navajo they are spelled hooghan. They all face east, most are six or eight-sided or round. These kind are called "female" hogan. They were usually made with logs and the roof of logs or the whole building was covered with earth for insulation. The "male" ones are very rare today and have a pointed top more like a small tepee of logs covered with dirt. Today, some Navajo still have hogans, mostly for ceremonies but some are still lived in. Most people lived in regular US style homes or in mobile homes. There are 300,000 Navajo and they are very individualistic so there is a lot of variation.
Did the Navajo Indians disappear?
No. Today they are the largest tribe in the US with over 300,000 members. The Navajo Nation is the size of Holland and Belgium put together, 27,000 square miles. The Navajo Nation is doing well.
