Jim, we hardly knew ye ... Been wondering what becomes of James Wolfensohn after May 31? There have been allusions in a couple press account to his forming a "small think-tank" with 5 or 6 staff. Then there's Sunday's AP story from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota (U.S.), in which we learn about "the Global Facilities Fund for Indigenous Peoples, an international loan program. He created it with the help of Rebecca Adamson, president of the First Nations Development Institute .... The goal of the fund is to help native people around the world financially benefit from their land, intellectual property and other assets not yet tapped." Says Wolfensohn: "I think many of us who've grown up in more of a Western tradition need to stand back in a world in which we're really screwing up and see what the older nations, the indigneous nations, could contribute."
