No. You are mixing him up with Adam Beach who did a tremendous job acting in Windtalkers (about the Navajo code talkers).
In "Code Talker" by Joseph Bruchac, a powerful metaphor is the comparison of the Navajo language to a secret weapon. This metaphor highlights how the unique qualities of the Navajo language serve as a tool for communication and strategy during World War II, emphasizing the strength and resilience of the Navajo culture. The language, like a weapon, is portrayed as both protective and empowering for the soldiers who use it.
The "bodyguards" for the Navajo Code Talkers had the responsibility to see that they never fell into Japanese hands. This responsibility was handled in two ways:protect the Navajo Code Talker during battlekill the Navajo Code Talker if he was captured or was about to be captured by Japanese (the Navajo Code Talkers were never informed of this)Effectively the US Military treated the Navajo Code Talkers as they would any other classified high security cypher machine they might use to send and receive secret messages. If you were responsible for a cypher machine your responsibilities for handling the machine were identical: protect it from the enemy in battle and destroy it should there be a chance of the enemy capturing it.
His native american name in the book code talker is Kii Yazhi. If you actually read it its in the first like 3 or 4 chapters.
