Other Lesson Ideas: "Cultural Differences" Navajo Code Talkers mentions many occasions were ethnic or cultural differences and assumptions led to miscommunications and distrust. Identify and describe any events from your life where differences or assumptions interfered with an objective or common goal. Were you able to overcome the differences? Why or why not?"Using Language to Construct Meaning" The book describes how the Navajo's use of language expresses a different way of looking at the world. For example instead of saying "I'm hungry," in Navajo you would say, "Hunger is hurting me." How is this a different way of looking at the world? "Subculture Relating to a Dominant Culture" Why were the young Navajo men so willing to fight for a country that fought their grandfathers and forced them to live on an unproductive reservation? The book does not address this question. Extra note: The Navajo do not have a word for patriotism. Websites: 1.
