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.
Traditionally women prepared most of the food.
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.
The Navajo children liked to play archery games and horse riding. They also played with toys and dolls. One of the main traditions in the Navajo was weaving, lots of the Navajo women liked to weave. They weaved things like rugs, blankets, toys, dolls and more.
The proper adjective form for Navajo is Navajo, as in Navajo Nation, Navajo people, Navajo history, Navajo art, etc. An example sentence: We visited the Navajo display at the museum to see the Navajo jewelry.
Twenty nine Navajo men created a code to help the American war effort in world war two. The code was never broken by the Japanese. The Navajo women worked in factories, planted victory gardens, and took over the mens general duties while the men were at war. The women volunteered for red cross. They gave away practically all the natural resources they had to help the war effort, they were given nothing in return. Not all Navajo soldiers were code talkers some were general soldiers.
They ate the same food as other US Marines in WWII. Mess halls and field kitchen food (A ration- fresh or frozen, and B rations- canned) or C, K or D-rations when that was not available.
The Navajo creation story tells of how the first Navajo men and women were thought to be created. The were said to be created from both wind and fire.
In WW2, the US allowed the Navajo speakers to establish their own set of code words so as to facilitate rapid communications in the Pacific Theater. As the Navajo language had never been a written language, the words themselves were unintelligible to those who had never heard them before.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:

In Navajo culture, leadership roles are traditionally held by men, particularly in formal positions such as chiefs. However, women can and do hold significant leadership roles within their communities, such as clan leaders or in various governance capacities. The Navajo Nation recognizes the importance of women in cultural and social spheres, and there have been instances of women in prominent political positions, including the presidency. Thus, while Navajo women may not traditionally be chiefs, they can still exert considerable influence and leadership within their communities.

The main characters in "Code Talkers" are the Navajo Marines who served as codetalkers during World War II, particularly the protagonist, Ned Begay, and his friend and fellow codetalker, Sam. The story follows their experiences as they use their native language to transmit secret military codes and navigate the challenges of war.
