One of last Native American code talkers dies
Edmond Harjo, one of the last remaining Native American code talkers, has died. He was 96.
The Swearingen Funeral Home says Harjo died March 31 at Mercy Hospital in Ada. Harjo's nephew, Richard Harjo, says his uncle had a heart attack.
Harjo was a member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. He was also one of the last surviving members of a group of American Indians who used their native languages to outwit the enemy and protect U.S. battlefield communications during World Wars I and II.
