With deep sorrow, we remember Chester Nez, the last surviving member of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers, who passed away from kidney failure. Born in New Mexico in 1921, Nez endured forced assimilation at a federal boarding school where speaking Navajo was forbidden—yet the very language he was once punished for using became a decisive weapon in World War II. In 1942, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and helped develop an unbreakable code based on Navajo, using words like “turtle” for tank and “chicken hawk” for dive bomber. The code played a vital role in Pacific battles such as Iwo Jima, saving countless lives. With his passing, a powerful link to courage, culture, and quiet heroism is gone—but his legacy endures.

"The villains are fairly obvious in “Flower Moon,” but Scorsese asks audiences to take a wider look at systemic racism, historical injustice and the corruptive influence of power and money, intriguingly tying together our past and present." ~ Brian Truitt,
"Gladstone, in the rare Scorsese film that gives center stage to a female character, is the emotional core here, and it's her face that stays etched in our memory."
~ Jocelyn Noveck
“This is for every little Rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream and is seeing themselves represented in our stories told by ourselves, in our own words..." ~ Lily Gladstone
"We Are Still Here!" 🪶
