Choctaw code talkers

The Choctaw code talkers were a group of Choctaw Indians from Oklahoma who pioneered the use of Native American languages as military code during World War I.

The government of the Choctaw Nation maintains that the men were the first American native code talkers ever to serve in the US military. They were conferred the Texas Medal of Valor in 2007.
