El Programa para los Pueblos de los Bosques (Forest Peoples Programme, FPP)) ha elaborado una Guía Comunitaria sobre la política del Banco Mundial para Pueblos Indígenas de ocho páginas, que contiene un resumen de las disposiciones claves en la política de salvaguardia del Banco Mundial sobre Pueblos Indígenas.La guía esta basada en la interpretación del FPP sobre los requisitos de la política que establezcan reglas obligatorias para el personal del Banco y sus prestatarios.El documento tiene el fin de informar a los pueblos indígenas, a sus organizaciones representativas y a sus aliados sobre la política, y apoyarles para mejorar, monitorear, cuestionar y retar los proyectos del BM cuando consideren que no ha cumplido con sus propias reglas o no ha respetado los derechos de las comunidades afectadas.

La guía está disponsible en:

Maya Intellectual Renaissance: Identity, Representation, and Leadership by Victor Montejo. This is the first book to be published outside of Guatemala where a Mayan writer other than Rigoberta Menchu discusses the history and problems of the country. It collects essays Montejo has written over the past ten years that address three critical issues facing Mayan peoples today: identity, representation, and Mayan leadership. Montejo is deeply invested in furthering the discussion of the effectiveness of Mayan leadership because he believes that self-evaluation is necessary for the movement to advance. He also criticizes the racist treatment that Mayans experience, and advocates for the construction of a more pluralistic Guatemala that recognizes cultural diversity and abandons assimilation.
Wasáse: Indigenous Pathways of Action and Freedom by Taiaiake Alfred. The word Wasáse is the Kanienkeha (Mohawk) word for the ancient war dance ceremony of unity, strength, and commitment to action. The author notes, "This book traces the journey of those Indigenous people who have found a way to transcend the colonial identities which are the legacy of our history and live as Onkwehonwe, original people. It is dialogue and reflection on the process of transcending colonialism in a personal and collective sense.
The Funding and Resource Guide helps build the capacity for Indigenous communities to increase their participation as successful grant-seekers. It contains practical information that includes the elements of a proposal; how to conduct foundation research; useful research websites; glossary of fundraising terms; and information on more than 250 foundations, corporations, and government agencies who provide funding for Indigenous and grassroots projects.
