There were other tribes involved. In several instances. There were Code Talkers in WWI also. Heroes!
Just in case you missed. I doubt you did though.
My father told me about this amazing group when l was in Jr High. I’m now in my 70’s & the knowledge about the Code Talkers is in the public domain. We also had brave ‘talkers’ in WWI. Not just Navajo.
