tangentially related, and perhaps also of interest to mathematics advocates here in the southwest, is another documentary by Csicsery called *Navajo Math Circles*: http://www.zalafilms.com/navajo/about.html
""" Hundreds of Navajo children in recent years have found themselves at the center of a lively collaboration with mathematicians from around the world. The children stay late after school and assemble over the summer to study mathematics, using a model called math circles, which originated in Eastern Europe and which has proliferated across the United States. This notion of student-centered learning puts children in charge of exploring mathematics to their own joy and satisfaction, with potentially long-lasting results.
