Description
John is scared. His mom married the man from Minnesota, and now he has to leave the Navajo Reservation. John has never lived off the Reservation. What will it be like? How will he measure up to people who lived outside of the Four Sacred Mountains?
But John's grandfather tells him he will be all right, for he has something very special to take with him: he has the unbreakable code - the code that saved the lives of thousands of Americans in the Pacific during World War II, invented using the then unwritten Navajo language.
"The Unbreakable Code" portrays the quiet pride of a Navajo code talker as he explains to his grandson how the Navajo language, faith, and ingenuity helped win World War II.
