Teacher Resources
This study guide is intended to provide support to teachers in presenting the ideas shared in the "Pete Standing Alone Trilogy" films: Round Up (2011), Circle of the Sun (1960) and Standing Alone (1982). The first film, Circle of the Sun (1960), introduces audiences to a young Pete who is uninterested in embracing the cultural traditions of his people. The second film, Standing Alone (1982), chronicles his attempt to embrace his people’s identity and cultural traditions. The final film of the trilogy, Round Up (2010), finds Pete as an elder, teacher and community leader. He is continuing in his determination to preserve the traditions of his people and pass teachings on to the youth of the community.
