Shelby, Montana is one of three locations in Montana, fortunate enough to host a Smithsonian traveling exhibit. “Native Words, Native Warriors” tells the fascinating story of how the U.S. Military used the Native American Languages, as part of a code during WWII. Native American code-talkers relayed critical information, in a code that couldn’t be cracked by the enemy; they were invaluable to the United States and it’s allies. An open house, on July 10, 2011, will kick off the exhibit; it will be worth attending. “Native Words, Native Warriors” will be in Shelby through July, and is hosted by the Marias Museum of Art and History. Mark you calendars to see this tribute to our American heroes!
