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.
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?
