The Dole Institute of Politics at Kansas University will host a discussion Sunday featuring Navajo and Comanche Code Talkers.

Sam Billison, president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association, Samuel Tso, a Navajo, and Charles Chibitty, the last living Comanche Code Talker, will discuss their experiences in World War II. The military used Native soldiers to devise codes that couldn't be cracked by the Japanese.
