In Phoenix this August, a 101-year-old Code Talker took his place at a national commemoration honoring the Native American soldiers who encrypted Allied communications during World War II using indigenous languages no enemy could break. Their contribution was decisive, yet classified for decades — a silence that mirrored a longer history of erasure visited upon the very cultures whose words had helped win the war. As the last surviving members of this generation age, the nation finds itself in a quiet race to acknowledge what it once chose not to see, and to hold what memory remains before it
