Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren on Wednesday said his office received word from the the White House that the Department of Defense will restore materials related to the Navajo Code Talkers on its website.

The Pentagon has restored some webpages highlighting the wartime contributions of Navajo Code Talkers and other Native American veterans.

As one of the two last living Navajo code talkers who sent indecipherable messages that helped the United States win World War II, he had been upset when the Defense Department removed webpages earlier this week highlighting his efforts and those of other minority service members.
