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.
