This very large sculpture sits on the corner of Thomas Road and Central Avenue in front of the Phoenix Plaza Office complex. It was created by Doug Hyde, a renowned Native American artist.
It is a tribute to the Navajo code talkers who created a communications code during WWII based on the Navajo language. That code was never broken by the enemy.

What a great story and sculpture. Well done Sharon.
That's a wonderful tribute! I like the movie based on the story also.
A well deserved tribute Sharon, fabulous sculpture ✨
I read a book about the code talkers a while back. Fascinating, and quite an important contribution to the war effort.
