Phone games put Colombia's indigenous cultures in palm of children's hands

A series developed with the help of anthropologists and scientists teaches children about the country's 87 indigenous groups, who speak 71 languages
In a simple wooden hut on a Caribbean beach, a young girl sits at the feet of her grandmother, who is crocheting a brightly coloured shoulder bag whose intricate design draws on the mythology of the Wayuu people.
It's the opening scene from a smartphone game that seeks to educate Colombian children about their country's endangered indigenous cultures.
