Best Answer

The Navajo Code Talker program was run by the US Marines. In WWII women were not allowed to join the Marines. The code used Navajo as a base but was encoded in that so a Navajo speaker could not understand it and would need to memorize the secret code to use it.

What are the roles of the desert southwest children men and women?

Men and women did different jobs in Navajo society. Navajo men were hunters, warriors and political leaders. Only men were chiefs in the Navajo tribe. Navajo women were farmers, tended livestock, and also did most of the child care and cooking. Even artwork was separated by gender. Men made jewelry, and women wove rugs and sculpted clay pots. Both genders did take part in storytelling, music, and traditional medicine. Today, many of these gender roles have changed. Navajo men are often farmers and ranchers now... and Navajo women join the Army.

How did the Navajo use the codetalker?

Human language. The Navajo people, being one race in a species of many intelligent, modern Homosapiens, communicated as we still do today with sophisticated language. Navajo people exist right now, especially in North America. Most all of them speak English, but many thousands of them also speak the old Navajo tongue. I have to believe that the Navajo are, and were, very much like the rest of us in the ways that matter most. In love, justice, religion, art, science, culture, and ambition they dominated their world in their own time. They could not have accomplished it without language.
