Charles Chibitty was the last surviving code talker who used his native language to relay messages for the Allies during World War II. Chibitty, and 16 other Native Americans from the Lawton area had been recruited by the U.S. military for this purpose. They provided the Allies with a language that the Germans could not decipher. The Navajos did the same in the Pacific theater, and the Choctaws served as code talkers in World War I.
Mr. Chibitty was born Nov. 20, 1921, in a tent near Medicine Park and attended high school at Haskell Indian School. He was still in school when he enlisted in 1941. He earned numerous medals and was honored by the French government. In 1999 he received the Knowlton Award from the Pentagon, which recognizes outstanding intelligence work. He died on 20 July 2005 in Tulsa.
