Liberty: The Louisiana Home Front through Historical Fiction Student Webinar

The idea of using American Indians who were fluent in both their traditional tribal language and in English to send secret messages in battle was first put to the test in World War I with the Choctaw Telephone Squad and other Native communications experts and messengers. However, it wasn’t until World War II that the US military developed a specific policy to recruit and train American Indian speakers to become code talkers.

"As our last day began at the Summer Teacher Institute at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, we couldn’t help but feel bittersweet about our experiences. We felt this way because our time here had been nothing short of outstanding and we were not ready to leave but were excited to bring new ideas and strategies to our classrooms across the United States."

"Prior to touring the Museum vault with the curatorial staff, our class was introduced to another perspective of teaching World War II—using statistics to help strengthen or challenge an argument."
