The other day in a post Jonn gave us about Edith Shain <\/a>. Reader 509th Bob left a comment regarding the passing of the last of the Oglala Lakota code talkers and I thought it merited it’s own post.<\/p>\n

Clarence Wolf Guts<\/a> was the last of the Oglala Lakota code talkers. These code talkers spoke the Lakota dialect of the Souix language, the other two dialects being Nakota and Dakota.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a very unselfish hero, always complimenting somebody else,\u201d [Donald E.]Loudner said. \u201cHe always said to me \u2018I never did anything great, I was just one of a team.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew he was an important man to people because of his activities in the Army, but I didn\u2019t know this many people had so much respect for him,\u201d said Don Doyle, Wolf Guts\u2019 only son. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of him, and I\u2019m very grateful to them coming all the way here to pay respects to my father.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most of us became familiarized with the code talkers when the government declassified material related to the code talker program in the 1990’s and a book, then movie was written regarding the code talkers called Wind Talkers.<\/a> I admit, I never saw the movie because I was worried Hollywood would screw it up. The book and movie highlighted the Navajo code talkers which was a Marine program. Many people don’t realize that Indians from 15 different tribes became code talkers. Clarence was part of the Army’s code talker program and was recruited while at Ft. Rucker in Ranger training along with his cousin Iver Crow Eagle. Clarence was Maj. Gen. Paul Mueller’s personal code talker, and traveled with him and the 81st ID as the division moved from island to island in the Pacific, headed for Japan. Iver accompanied the general’s chief of staff.<\/p>\n

Clarence was laid to rest on June 23rd, God Bless and thank you Sir.<\/p>\n
