Code Talkers used their native languages to keep plans secure and out of enemy hands. The Choctaw soldiers were the first to be called on in World War I to do this. These warriors are juxtaposed with the young boys playing the game of stickball. This game was also called Little Brother of War. In times past, it was used to settle disputes, even disputes between tribes.
