The first use of native American code talkers by the US Army was in World War 1, when Cherokees were used to transmit messages in their own language in September 1918. Later, Choctaws serving with the 36th Infantry Division were used to transmit messages in Choctaw.

In World War 2 Comanche, Meskwaki, Menominee, Lakota and many other native speakers were used as code talkers in their own languages as well as the Navajo; it would be morally wrong and disrespectful to ignore their contribution to the American war effort and give all the credit to the Navajo simply because Hollywood chose to make a film about them.

The last remaining World War 2 Oglala Lakota code talker, Clarence Wolf Guts, died in June 2010 at the age of 86 - see links below:

What US military code language was never broken during WW2?

There was no formal code language, however Native American radio operators from the Navajo, Cherokee, Choctaw, Lakota Sioux, Meskwaki, and Comanche nations, using codes developed from their own native languages made it impossible for non-native speakers to break the codes they used. This was not a phenomenon unique to WW2 theaters either. Choctaw codes were introduced during WW1. Nor were native American speakers the only ethnic group who found success using codes based on their native languages. Soldiers of Basque descent also used code talk they developed from their language in areas where Basque speakers were not likely present.

How does world war 2 influence native American?

Both in World War 1 and 2 the Native Americans helped with language codes and fighting in the war. They were proud Americans who fought well for their country. They were not rewarded enough until late in life. They received medals at the time of war but most did not get them until they were advanced in age. They did not benefit from the war as far as economics and education went. Some did use the GI bill but most lived an reservations where they could not totally take advantage of all of the GI bill's benefits. Some were motivated to leave the reservation and improve themselves. But, they did get the shaft as the black people in the 40s, 50s and 60s did.
