Hollywood did a poor job telling the story of Indian code-talkers in the movie "Windtalkers," says a Native American studies professor from Montana State University. Walter Fleming, associate professor and author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Native American History," said the World War II movie "sucks." He joked that it put an "Indian-deprived" actor, Nicholas Cage, and his "angst" at the forefront. The history of Indian code-talkers in war is more complex and interesting, he told a crowd of 50 people Tuesday at the Bozeman Public Library. His talk, "10 Things About Native Americans I Learned While Looking Up Something Else," was sponsored by the American Association of University Women. Not all code-talkers were Navajo, said Fleming, a member of the Kickapoo Kansas tribe who grew up on the Crow reservation in Montana.
