THE UNIQUE U.S HISTORY KENYA CAN DIGEST

One of the over 150 different U.S tribe was one called Navajo. The NAVAJO of the South Western United States are the largest federally recognized tribe of the United States of America with 300,048 enrolled tribal members. The Navajo Nation constitutes an independent government, which manages the Navajo Indian reservation in the four corner areas of the United States. The Navajo language is spoken throughout the region with the most capable of speaking as well.

Now, during the World War II, the Navajo were used in every assault that the US made on the Pacific from 1942 – “45 and they served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio. This was because the U.S used the Navajo language to convey high security messages during the war which was impossible for the Japanese who are highly skilled code breakers to break & decipher.

You see the Navajo language consisted of an unwritten language of extreme complexity. Its syntax and tonal qualities, not to mention dialects, make it unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training. It has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest. One estimate indicates that less than 30 non-Navajos, none of them Japanese, could understand the language at the outbreak of World War II.

The U.S used the uniqueness of the Navajo language to its advantage in World War II. Rather than encrypting radio messages, it proved simpler to use Navajos to speak to each other in their everyday language to convey high-security messages & it worked. And unlike with machine codes, the Japanese were never able to break the Navajo code. This skill, creativity and uniqueness helped to save both American lives and marine engagements. And remember that U.S was the one country that made a halt to the World War II after the atomic bomb was dropped in the Japanese Islands of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This partly led to it now becoming the World’s most powerful nation.

In Kenya we have more than 42 unique tribes. Each tribe in Kenya has their own distinctive social and economical cultural engagements that make them very distinct.

How do we take advantage of all these tribes to develop Kenya and make it a Social, Economical and Powerful power house in Africa instead of taking refuge in our ethnic & tribal cocoons by fighting each other and thinking that our tribes are superior to other People’s tribes?
