"There has been a great deal of writing the past several decades about Native American Code Talkers of World War Two. The published works have been about Navajos and the tremendous contribution they made in the Pacific campaigns of the war. What is often overlooked is the role played in both World Wars by men of other tribes. There were Cherokee, Choctaw, Comanche, Creek and other tribal representatives with their languages involved as well.

Seven stories -- two by the book's editor, Arigon Starr, dealing with Choctaw and Comanche code talkers, one by Roy Boney, Jr. on Cherokees, one by Johnnie Diacon on Creeks, and one by Jonathan Nelson on Navajos, plus stories from Lee Francis IV and Michael Sheyahshe -- provide an excellent rendering of the subject."… (meer)
Indigenous creators honor the Cherokee, Choctaw, Kiowa, Muscogee Creek, Comanche, and Caddo code talkers of World War I, World War II and the Korean War in this anthology of historical fiction short stories. These soldiers deserve praise for stepping up to serve the United States despite the racism and discrimination they faced in the military and back home. There is dark irony in the fact that some of them were sent to residential schools for forced assimilation to white culture. As Assiniboine code talker Gilbert Horn, Sr., underlines in a barbed quote on the last page: "The language which they forbade me to speak is the language that saved this country."
I was touched by the emotional impact of several of the stories and appreciated the inclusion of the frequently overlooked Aleutian Islands campaign. ( )
This graphic novel tells seven historical stories of the Navajos, Cherokee, Choctaw, Comanche, Creek, and other native contributions to multiple wars for the United States from World War I to the Korean War. The Native language provided secret communication codes for the US military. The various authors and illustrate recount war struggles and accomplishments of the Native heroes.
