Philip Johnston

A boy by the name of Philip Johnston grew up on the Navajo reservation and learned how to speak the hard language he mentioned the Navajo language to the united states marines during world war I the Comanche and choctaw languages were used in Europe to encode messages. Philip wrote about the navajos to Clayton b vogule.  During world war II the unites states government the same government that didn’t go by the treaties that were signed came to the Navajo and asked for assistance and that’s where the Navajo code talkers came in. The navajos didn’t fight for the bill of rights they fought for there tradition and there language.

"the U.S. Marine Corps decided to give Johnston’s idea a try. They approved a pilot project with 30 Navajos and allowed Johnston to enlist and participate in the program." (CIA, 2016)

A non-Native American man, who's idea it is to create and used the Navajo lanugage for a code. His idea was to create an unbreakable code during WWII, several days later the Marines aquired Philip Johnston idea to use the Navajo language to create a code. He served as an United States veteran in World War I. He was so fluent in Navajo that his idea came up to his mind, while reading a newspaper. Several days later, he went to a naval office to ask the marines to use the Navajo language. Major Jones didn't like the idea, but after hearing the Navajo language he reconsidered using the Navajo language and took it to the government.
