This Veterans Day, the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) honors all the men and women, past and present, who have served in the U.S. military. Today we highlight Mr. Peter MacDonald, one of the last living Navajo Code Talkers. Inspired to join the military because of the “beautiful blue” Marine Corps uniform, Mr. MacDonald enlisted at 15 years old in 1944. In 1942, 29 Navajo men, now known as the Navajo Code Talkers, created an unbreakable code based on the intricate and oral Navajo language that was deployed across the Pacific during World War II. The Navajo Code Talkers participated in all major U.S. Marine operations in the Pacific from 1942-1945 – transmitting secret communications by telephone and radio in their native language that were never deciphered during the war. Mr. MacDonald attributed his Navajo culture’s emphasis on its youth learning and memorizing Navajo creation stories, songs, and prayers in helping the Code Talkers become so successful in communicating in the Navajo Code that saved countless lives in World War WII.
Did you know that Native Americans continue to serve at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in the United States? For more than two centuries, Native American have served and continue to serve in the U.S. military – including the brave Native American Code Talkers in World War I and World II, just like Peter MacDonald. Check out President Biden’s Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month, where the president also honors our Native American veterans past and present.

Since 1975 when the Administration for Native Americans was established, we have been able to help Native communities grow and thrive economically, socially, and culturally. We support this growth through our discretionary grant programs as well as training and technical assistance. ANA serves all Native Americans, which includes federally and state recognized tribes, American Indian and Alaska Native organizations, Urban Indian programs, Native Hawaiian organizations, and Native populations throughout the Pacific Basin (including American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). To the ANA funded projects, past and present, thank you for letting us be part of your journey to success and sustainability!
In January 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the War on Poverty, a collection of ideals that ultimately laid the foundation for ANA. President Johnson made a call to action, asking communities to prepare “long-range plans for the attack on poverty.” Eight months later, the Economic Opportunity Act was signed into law, and shortly thereafter the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) began awarding grants.
Early in the 1970s, the Office of Economic Opportunity was terminated, but many of its War on Poverty concepts became the basis for ANA. Established in 1974 through the Native American Programs Act (NAPA), this new agency also embraced the goal of Native American self-determination, first endorsed by President Johnson in 1968 and later by President Richard Nixon. ANA serves all Native American populations, including federally recognized tribes, American Indian and Alaska Native organizations, Native Hawaiian organizations and Native populations throughout the Pacific Basin (including American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands).
