Best Answer

To transmit, accurately and rapidly, over open radio waves, using no code-book or machine, military orders and information during battle against the Japanese in the Pacific WWII. The code used Navajo language as a base to encode the messages but was not comprehensible to Navajo who did not learn the code. It was about ten times faster than machine or code book codes and was never broken.

The PRIMARY job of the Navajo Talkers was to transmit and receive messages in a Navajo Code created by the military and the Navajos. They were also to fight the enemy when they needed to defend themselves. They relayed messages for the people on the fighting front to the leaders in the rear.

Who got the Navajo code talkers into the war?

The Navajo Code Talkers, whose ranks exceed 400 during the course of World War II in the Pacific Theater. Have been credited with saving countless lives and hastening the end of the war. The Code Talker's served in all six Marine divisions from 1942 to 1945. The Code Talker's primary job was to talk and transmit information on tactics, troop movements, orders and other vital battlefield information via telegraphs and radios in their native dialect. A major advantage of the code talker system was its speed. The method of using Morse code often took hours where as, the Navajos handled a message in minutes. It has been said that if was not for the Navajo Code Talker's, the Marines would have never taken Iwo Jima. The Navajo's unwritten language was understood by fewer than 30 non-Navajo's at the time of WWII. The size and complexity of the language made the code extremely difficult to comprehend, much less decipher. It was not until 1968 that the code became declassified by the US Government.

How is Navajo culture today similar to the early Navajo culture?

The Navajo have a remarkable ability to assimilate new ideas and technologies and make them Navajo. We believe the early Athabascan ancestors of the Navajo were hunter gatherers when they entered the Southwest probably about 900 years ago. By the 1300s or so they were growing corn, beans and squash and weaving cotton and making pottery. By the 1600s they were increasingly raising sheep and goats and weaving wool. In the 1700s they began to make silver jewelry. Large numbers, as percentage, served in the US military in the 20th century. Today there are 300,000 Navajo and they do almost every conceivable job. The Navajo have changed in many more ways but these are some of the outlines. Through it all, as far back as we can know, the four sacred mountains, Changing Woman, pollen, and the concept of Hózhǫ́ has been important.


How do you spell kenneth in Navajo?

You can't spell Kenneth in Navajo. Navajo has very different sorts of traditioonal names that aren't like English names. In English the name comes from two different Gaelic names. One means "handsome" and one means "fire". So perhaps you could translate into hasttin nizhoni or diné nizhoni. These mean Mr handsome and handsome man, but they are not traditional. Fire is kǫ' but that is not an name. Diné bikǫ' might mean man of fire, again not a normal name. Kǫ' deiniłtsésí is fireman but that is a job not a name.

What were the prominent intelligence victories of World War 2?

Breaking the German Inigma Code had to be one of the top intelligence victories of all time. It was the communication code that the Germans used to communicate, and U.S. and British intelligence communities were able to break the code so that the Allies could know what the Germans were saying. Another intelligence victory was the planting of information regarding the actual location and time of the invasion that ended up being D-Day. Dis-information was sent to the Germans in the form of a deceased courier with elaborate plans for an invasion that was far away from Normandy France. Germans sent most of their military forces to that location in an effort to defeat the Allies during the invasion. A third major intelligence victory of WW2 was the "code-talkers". Navajo Indians spoke a language that NOBODY in the rest of the world understood. Their job was to continuously talk on the radio, mostly conversational stuff, then when there was real information to be sent the code talkers would slip that in. The Axis powers went nuts trying to decode a language which to them may as well have been from Mars. The Navajo Code Talkers were definitely heroes.
