<h1>🗣️ Saving Languages and the Code Talkers</h1>
<h2>Week 22 &bull; Tuesday &bull; Words That Made History</h2>



<section class="lesson-section">

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Native languages carry stories, songs, and knowledge that exist nowhere else. Long ago there were hundreds of Native languages in North America. Sadly, many were lost when children were once forbidden to speak them. But today, nations are bringing their languages back — with language classes, apps, and schools where children learn from elders!</p>

<p>One Native language even helped win a world war. During World War II, <strong>Navajo Code Talkers</strong> — Marines who spoke the Navajo language — sent secret military messages in a code based on Navajo words.</p>

<p>The enemy never cracked the code, not once! The Code Talkers are honored as heroes, and their story shows how precious every language is.</p>
