Abstract
In this unit I will a) introduce my students to the Navajo Code Talkers and their secret codes that they developed to help win World War II and b) relate the Navajo Code Talkers to new encryption schemes exploiting Quantum Science. This way, my students will learn about their history, strengthen their understanding of the Navajo language, and at the same time learn about new developments in science and how these seemingly disconnected topics are related.
