Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac will expose students to the challenges faced by Native Americans as they were assimilated into white society. Students will learn of the Native American Marines who were called upon during World War II to recall their language to help save a country that had displaced and devalued them. Bruchac's storytelling provides an excellent experience for students, as the story is relayed from grandfather to his grandchildren. "You cannot weave a rug before you set up the loom. So I will go back to the beginning, pound the posts in the ground, and build the frame. I will start where my own story of words and warriors begins."
