We\u2019re still gaining momentum in finding our identity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hawthorne\u2019s late father, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2015\/11\/11\/veterans-day-memory-navajo-code-talker-recalls-role-in-wwii\/\" target=\"_blank\">Roy Hawthorne<\/a>, was a Marine who served as a Code Talker on South Pacific islands from 1942 to 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complex, unbreakable code was developed by an original group of 29 Navajo Marines in 1942. They used it in combat communications in Pacific campaigns during World War II and helped U.S. forces gain ground and victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only three of the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/08\/17\/navajo-code-talkers-honored-in-virtual-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navajo Code Talkers<\/a> are still alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chevron Mining Co. donated more than 200 acres in McKinley County in 2009 for a Code Talkers museum, but the project has not gained much momentum since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regan Hawthorne said the museum\u2019s leaders have to finalize a deal with the Navajo Nation on the land for the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid a problem with the state\u2019s anti-donation clause, he said, museum leaders are working on a deal to give or sell the land to the tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regan Hawthorne added that finding funding has been challenging, in part because of confusion over the land and museum organizers\u2019 lack of an office where they can meet people and solicit financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tribe celebrates the Code Talkers every Aug. 14 and have done so since 1982, when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the date as National Navajo Code Talkers Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, the 25th Navajo Nation Council paid tribute to the Code Talkers again at an event held at the Navajo Veterans Memorial Park in Window Rock, Arizona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only three of the original Navajo Code Talkers are still
