he Global Indigenous alliance models I'm involved with are in the realm of performing culture. Utilising our shared connection for unity and to create global pathways. When I get a minute, I'll pull together some resources which illustrate this!

"... why I did not learn about you and the John Woolman College while I was living in Brattleboro, VT."
As an institution it is only about three years old, descending from a large network that preceded it, from my days with the UN Working Party. It's really just being born -- we Quakers do things slowly, but deliberately.
"... how come you did not get their attention since the work you do is similar to the very mission of SIT?"
They have known about me over the years, but Woolman College is just going public this year. I never made myself irresistable to them before now. Maybe that is changing -- did you read about 'Remembering Peacemaking' at SIT January 9?
"... how many students are attending the John Woolman College?"
We do not have 'faculty' or 'students', we are a vision for a completely non-hierarchical college, very alternative and non-traditional approach. We have only 'Scholars' arranged in three concentric circles, the largest about 300 people, and the inner one about 30. We are a bit based on a former institution called Friends World College, where I worked for awhile in the 1980s.
"... is the college accredited by the state of vermont?"
We don't think accreditation is necessary, nor registration in any jurisdiction, at least not any western or developed country jurisdiction. We are consciously trying to steer clear of the western dollar hegemony because it regularly snuffs out promising new efforts like ours.
