Few people know that before the Navajo code talkers, there were Choctaw code talkers. They were a group of fourteen Choctaws employed by the Army during WWI to transmit information safely. They played a big role in the final defeat of the Germans. Then, again during world war II, they were used along with other tribes such as the Commanche, Kiowa and Seminole as well as the Navajo code talkers.
Very effective, Navajo Indians were used to rely information over the air. They did not use a code but rather their native language.
Code talkers were Native Americans who served the United States in World War II by using their native languages to describe artillery, armaments, troop movements and so forth. This scheme allowed the war-time commanders to communicate through the code talkers with the presumption that the 'code' in use would never be deciphered. They were correct: the code used by the code talkers was never 'broken'. Read more, below.

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.

Code Talkers were specially trained in the art of code talking in the language of the Navajo people. As I understand it, most were of Navajo descent but not all.
It was a secret so the Japanese didn't find out.
You can trust the information of the book Code Talkers by Joseph Bruchac. It is published by Penguin Books which is a 5 star rated publishing company. They check the reliability of the information in the book prior to publishing the book. He interviewed both code talkers from the Navajo tribe and the US Military. He is a historian and has many reliable books to his credit. The Navajo Tribal Council can let you know if there are errors in the book. I know of none.
Some Navajo were drafted but the Code Talkers were volunteers.
