American Indian Heritage Month

In 1976 Congress authorized a week in October as Native American Awareness Week in celebration of American Indians. In 1990, President George Bush designated November as “National American Indian Heritage Month,” to celebrate the history, arts, and traditions of the American Indian and Alaska Native peoples.
In 2014, the State of Washington designed the fourth Friday in November as Native American Heritage Day, a state and school legal holiday, as under state law, states offices and schools are already closed the day after Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of the month).

  • Humpback Whales – Ecology and Song in a Cultural Social
    For marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, and seals, the ocean is a shared and interactive acoustic community. Humpback whales have been described as the ‘Troubadours of the Sea’, recognizing their complex and evolving songs that represent some of the longest ongoing improvisations in our planet’s history.

  • Spinning Out: Motherhood, Myths, and Madness
    Book launch party for Alexandra Teague’s Spinning Tea Cups: A Mythical American Memoir, and Maya Jewell Zeller’s out takes/ glove box, featuring special guests and co-emcees, authors Kate Lebo and Laura Read. Lebo and Read will share briefly from their own work before welcoming Teague and Jewell Zeller.
    Teague’s memoir, according to Kathryn Nuernberger, “recounts growing up in a family of ‘feral Victorians’ in the eccentric occult town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. With essayistic ruminations on matters of faith, kitsch, mental health, gun violence, and memory, Spinning Tea Cups has all the page-turning pleasures of an engaging story, along with insight, wisdom, and exquisite prose.”
    Jewell Zeller’s book of poems, according to Diane Seuss, “could be said to be an ‘oocyte opera’ of ovarian orbits and eddies, each month offering up its ‘vermilion funeral.’ Zeller’s surrealism is embodied and embedded in myth, fairy tale, the realm of the family, and the kingdom of the natural world.” Seuss called the book “the kind of deft performance only a mermaid or a mother could pull off.” Both authors will read for 15 minutes and then be available to sign books, which will be available for purchase.

  • The Jewish Jail Lady and the Holy Thief: A Story of Addiction Documentary
    “The Jewish Jail Lady and The Holy Thief” follows the dark, troubled, often unbelievable pasts of Harriet Rossetto and Rabbi Mark Borovitz. Together they worked to remove the stigma of addiction and build Beit T’Shuvah, a world-renowned, nonprofit addiction recovery center in Los Angeles. (Please note: The film contains some strong language.) This compelling documentary chronicles the life of Harriet, a housewife-turned-social worker who helps incarcerated felons re-enter society, and her partnership with Mark, an ex-con and recovering alcoholic who becomes an ordained rabbi. They go on to save thousands of lives over 35 years of creating and building Beit T’Shuvah. Their efforts have been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including participation in President George W. Bush’s 2004 roundtable on faith and recovery and receiving the Advocates for Action award in 2015 from President Barack Obama. A Q&A with the stars of the film and a panel discussion with local community leaders on possible solutions in the fight against addiction will follow the screening.
    Sponsored by the Spokane Area Jewish Family Services and Temple Beth Shalom, with the generous support of the Alhadeff Family Charitable Fund.

  • The Future of Climate Education in the United States
    In order to best engage in just climate mobilization, we must first know clearly what challenges we are facing and then consider all possible options for socio-ecological solutions. Climate education is a critical component of such mobilization. When we think of education, we must consider learning in formal schooling, informal settings, and professional and vocational learning for all people of all ages. In addition, we need to be expansive in considering diverse learning histories. This talk will start from this broad definition of climate learning to map out potential trajectories for understanding the future of climate education within the US and as part of the US obligations abroad.
    Dr. Deb L. Morrison works at the intersection of justice, climate science, and learning. She is a climate and anti-oppression activist, scientist, learning scientist, educator, mother, locally elected official, and many other things.

I recently saw a Facebook posting of two young boys dressed up as Navajo (Diné) Code Talkers for Halloween. It is a beautiful picture. I was fortunate to meet several Navajo (Diné) code talkers at a book signing more than 10 years ago.

During World War I and World War II, several Indigenous languages were used for communication. Code talkers during WWI were the Ho-Chunk, Eastern Band Cherokee, and Choctaw, with the Choctaw best known as code talkers during WWI. During WWII, codes were developed based on the languages of the Cree, Comanche, Hope, Mohawk, Muscogee, and Navajo (Diné) and other tribes. WWII Code talkers today are often associated with the Navajo (Diné). The last original Navajo Code Talker that developed the language for use in WWII, Chester Nez died in 2014. Below is more information on Navajo Code Talkers.

Navajo (Diné) Code Talkers – World War II

In 1969, the 4th Marine Division Association was holding its 22nd reunion in Chicago, Il. At each reunion, the committee selected someone to receive an honor. That year, Lee Cannon, a member of the Honors Committee suggested that the Navajo Code Talkers receive the honor. As the committee concurred with Cannon, he spent time tracking down the code takers and receiving permission from the Marine Corps to honor these men. Cannon was not aware of the secrecy surrounding the code talker program and may have unintentionally set the wheels in motion to declassify the program and Navajo dictionary.

15 Navajo code talkers from the 4th Division, along with a Navajo code talker representing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th Marine Division attended the reunion in June of 1969. This honor encouraged the code talkers to form an association and held their first association reunion in July 1971. During the reunion, a team of interviewers from the Doris Duke Oral History Project from the University of Utah were there to capture the code talkers’ memories of serving in the Marines in the South Pacific during World War II. This was the first time the code talkers spoke of their military service. When they were discharged from the Marines, they were told not to speak of or tell anyone, including family, what they did during the war, just in case the military need to use the code again. In fact, their discharge papers did not identify them as code talkers (642) due to the secrecy of the code talker program. Since then, the code talkers have often been referred to as the military’s secret weapon as the Japanese were never able to crack the Navajo code. The United States was able to crack Japan’s naval codes, as were the Japanese able to break the U.S. codes. The “code” is a code within the Navajo language (see below for examples). The Army had limited success with the Choctaws and Comanche during World War I and II (in Europe), however, both tribes used their own language, it was not designed as a code within the language. With the Navajo code, if a person knew the Navajo language, they still needed to know the code in order to translate correctly as to what was being said.

In 1942, Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary who lived on the Navajo reservation as a child, submitted a proposal to Major James Jones recommending that the Navajo language be used for military purposes. Major Jones contacted Major General Clayton Vogel with Johnston’s proposal. Major General Vogel tested the possibility of using the Navajo language in late February 1942 in Los Angeles and determined that having Navajos transmit verbal messages was an advantage over sending code that needed to be deciphered before sending and deciphering again when received which often took hours when time was of the essence. However, a setback initially arose, as the Navajo did not have military words in their vocabulary. The first 29 Navajo recruits were given the assignment of developing a code, words in the Navajo language that would be used for specific military words. In addition, they were also told to design an alphabet. By the end of the war, the number of words had doubled from the first set of 200+ code words developed.

The initial Navajo’s recruits were recruited from the Ft. Defiance, AZ area. Thereafter, military recruiters usually went to government boarding schools near the Navajo reservation. There were several requirements; the Navajos had to be fluent in English and the Navajo language and be able to physically endure basic training. The Marine Corp found out that many Navajos excelled in basic training due to their harsh life on the reservation. The ironic note of Native Americans sent to government boarding schools was that one of the penalties facing the students was the inability to speak their language without punishment. That same language the Navajos were forbidden to speak at school was now needed to help the U.S. defeat the Japanese. Over 400 Navajos served as code talkers from 1942 – 1945; today the surviving code talkers are all over the age of 80. While the Battle of Midway took placed prior to the Navajo code talkers’ formation, they served in many other battles in the South Pacific starting with Guadalcanal, and including Bougainville, Guam, Pelelia, Saipan, Tinian, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima. The knowledge of the code talkers was on a need-to-know basis; they often reported to the highest commander at the battle sites. On various occasions throughout the war, the code talkers were mistaken as Japanese by both U.S. Army and Marine soldiers. Many were marched with a rifle in their back to the commanding officer so he could vouch for the code talker as being a U.S. Marine. Many of the code talkers were assigned “bodyguards” to ensure their safety (from both U.S. military personnel and the Japanese) as not only did they handle communications both talking in code but also repairing the equipment, stringing lines and “runner” duties, getting messages to the appropriate commander. In addition, on several occasions Marines thought the Japanese were on their radio frequencies when they heard the code talkers. According to McClain, during the battle of Iwo Jima, Commodore McGovern listened to a Navajo transmission thinking the Japanese had broken into their circuit. McGovern grabbed the microphone and told the Japanese to get off his circuit. A Navajo voice immediately replied that he was Navajo, not Japanese and for him to get off the circuit.

The effectiveness of the Navajo code saved countless lives as reported by various commanding officers during those times they were utilized. In the battle of Iwo Jima, 6,821 Marines, sailors, and soldiers lost their lives, including two code talkers. The fight in the South Pacific resulted in the death of 19,733 Marines and 67,207 injuries. A total of 10 code talkers were killed during the war in the South Pacific. After the war, the military department told the code talkers not to let anyone know what they did during the war in case they needed to be
used again. Many of the code talkers returned to the Navajo reservation and kept their word about not letting family and friends know that they served as code talkers during the war.

In July of 1982, President Reagan declared August 14th as National Navajo Code Talkers Day. In 1992, the First 29 (referred to as such as they were the first Navajos recruits sworn in as Marines) or family members received Congressional Gold Medals of Honor. The remaining Navajo code talkers received Congressional Silver Medals of Honor for the service of their country. Navajos, as did many other Native Americans served in the military during World War I. Based on their service to the United States, they were granted U.S. citizenship in 1924. However, they were not given the right to vote, which came later. It was not until 1962 Native Americans were given the right to vote in every state.

The Navajo lived in the same area of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah (Four Corners) for hundreds of years except for four years in the 1860s when the U.S. government forced them to leave their homes to be interned near Ft. Sumner, NM. The Navajo refer to this time as “The Long Walk” as many Navajos died or were killed by Kit Carson and his men during their escort from their home (Four Corners area) to Ft. Sumner. When the Navajo were able to return to their land, the U.S. government reduced their land to half the size. Despite their history with the United States government, Navajos have volunteered for military service in both World War I and World War II to help protect the United States and their land. In addition, many American Indians from the late 1800s was forced to attend government boarding schools. While attending, the students were punished if they spoke their native language. The government’s need of Navajo’s during World War II who could speak fluent Navajo and English (many Navajos learned English at these boarding schools) to develop an unbreakable code in the Pacific does not appear in any history books written prior to the 1970s due to the secrecy surrounding their utilization during WWII.
