More Windtalkers

An Associated Press story on Windtalkers notes that "Some of the words used to create the code have fallen out of use in Navajo society." Meanwhile, "many Navajos wondered: How can a movie about the Navajo code talkers star Nicolas Cage, a white man?" The complaints stopped after "[p]roducers met with the code talkers' association and hired one code talker as a consultant."
