As an Urban Native woman, this episode is about honoring my Navajo roots and honoring the voices of our ancestors who fought with so much courage in silence. This story deeply moved me, The Navajo code talkers, 29 Navajo men who used our sacred language to protect a country that once tried to erase it. Researching and sharing their story, reminded me why our words matter and why our history deserves to be heard.
