Event Description
For this Story Time, we will be honoring and recognizing our Native Veterans, specifically Code Talkers. Sources will be pulled directly from our own Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum Project, identifying the wide variety of tribal affiliations of the Code Talkers from WWI and WWII.
We will be featuring the award-winning book Chester Nez and the Unbreakable Code: A Navajo Code Talker’s Story by Joseph Bruchac (Abenaki) and illustrated by Liz Amini-Holmes. This is the true story of Chester Nez, a boy told to give up his Navajo roots. He became a man who used his native language to help America to victory during WWII.
For our craft, we will be making eagles and a thank you poster to honor all past and present service members and their families.
