  • The Trump administration removed Navajo Code Talker history from some government websites in accordance with President Donald Trump's anti-DEI orders.

The Trump administration, following an executive order aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training from federal agencies, removed references to the Navajo Code Talkers from military websites. This action was part of a broader initiative to remove what was deemed as "divisive" content, which included any mention of race or ethnicity in military history. The removal was criticized by Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, who emphasized the significant contributions of the Navajo Code Talkers during World War II, where their unique language was used to create an unbreakable code that helped secure victory for the Allies. The decision to erase this history was seen as an attempt to whitewash military history and was part of a larger policy to dismantle DEI programs across federal agencies, which also affected other historical narratives and training materials.
