Many Americans know something about the Navajo code talkers in World War II. But the strategy originated in World War I with members of the Choctaw, Oklahoma Cherokee, Comanche, Osage, and Sioux nations, as well as the Eastern Band of Cherokee and Ho-Chunk, whose veterans have yet to receive congressional recognition. Dr. Bill Meadows, historian and author of “The First Code Talkers: Native American Communicators in World War I,” will explore recent discoveries in research and delve into the post-war impact and popular myths of the first Code Talkers.
