The program remained top secret until 1968.

In 1982 Reagan gave them " a Certificate of Recognition" and declared August 14, 1982 "Navajo Code Talkers Day.

In 2000 congress passed and Clinton signed Public Law 106-554, 114 Statute 2763. It awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the original twenty-nine World War II Navajo code talkers, and Silver Medals to each person who qualified as a Navajo code talker (approximately 300).

Bush gave those to gold medals to 4 living men (the 5th couldn't come) and 24 medals to the families of the code talkers no longer living.

How did the native American Navajo help the war effect?

Twenty nine Navajo men created a code to help the American war effort in world war two. The code was never broken by the Japanese. The Navajo women worked in factories, planted victory gardens, and took over the mens general duties while the men were at war. The women volunteered for red cross. They gave away practically all the natural resources they had to help the war effort, they were given nothing in return. Not all Navajo soldiers were code talkers some were general soldiers.


Why were the contributions of the Navajo code talkers unrecognized for many years following the war?

The code was top secret until 1968. The former code talkers were not allowed to tell anyone what they did. Most returned to the Navajo Nation and many became prominent tribal members. They were treated the same as all other Native Vets. Many were active in working towards getting the right to vote in Arizona. In 1982 the code talkers were honored and later they all got Congressional gold medals in 2001. One place on the Navajo Nation to see information about the code talkers is at the Burger King in Kayenta, Arizona. The owner's father, King Mike, was a code talker and he has a small museum there. It has probably the best collection in the country. He did know what his father did until he found a postcard photo of Okinawa.
