I made mention of the Navajo Code Talkers the other day in this. Their work in WWII confounded the enemy and aided in the action of US Marines throughout the Pacific theater.
Well, it seems the Navajo are making use of other traditional skills to foil drug smugglers on the Arizona border where the Tohono O’odham Nation has its reservation. Called the Shadow Wolves, Navajo trackers work for and with the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to interdict drug traffickers passing through the reservation. While they don’t always get their men, they often get the drugs before the drugs get off the res.
