A group of 27 [[Meskwaki]] enlisted in the US Army together in January 1941; they comprised 16 percent of Iowa's Meskwaki population. During World War II, the US Army trained eight Meskwaki men to use their native [[Fox language]] as code talkers. They were assigned to North Africa. The eight were posthumously awarded the [[Congressional Gold Medal]] in 2013; the government gave the awards to representatives of the Meskwaki community.<ref name=Meskwaki_code>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/07/06/codetalkers.htm |title=Last Meskwaki code talker remembers |access-date=February 13, 2008 |date=July 4, 2002 |work=USA Today |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080505201050/http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/07/06/codetalkers.htm |archive-date=May 5, 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thegazette.com/2013/11/20/meskwaki-code-talkers-receive-congressional-gold-medal|title=Meskwaki 'code talkers' receive Congressional Gold Medal|last=Lynch|first=James Q.|website=The Gazette |date=November 20, 2013 |access-date=2019-01-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190127094548/https://www.thegazette.com/2013/11/20/meskwaki-code-talkers-receive-congressional-gold-medal|archive-date=January 27, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
