Navajo Code Talkers pages to be restored by Department of Defense; Coconino Supervisors address removal

Celebrating the Men of an Unbreakable Code

Peter MacDonald, a Navajo Code Talker, speaks at the Aquaplex during an Indigenous Code Talker celebration in 2024. MacDonald talked about the founding of the Code Talkers and their role in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

A day after Axios first reported that articles highlighting the Navajo Code Talkers had been removed from Department of Defense websites following President Donald Trump’s executive order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, a Department of Defense spokesperson said they will be restored.

“The department is restoring content about the Navajo Code Talkers,� the email statement said on Tuesday afternoon. “It had previously been removed during the auto removal process.�
