The Navajo language was used by the U.S. Marines to create a code during the Second World War. The Japanese never broke it. When the war was over the Navajo "Code Talkers" were sworn to secrecy and only much later, when many of them had by now died, was their contribution to the victory acknowledged and they were decorated and their unique value recognised.
