Indigenous leaders are having a moment.

I think the world is starting to recognize.

They need us more than we need them.

One leading voice on the power of indigenous communities to solve

the urgent problems of today. Our ancestors have foretold of a day of

reckoning and it would be the indigenous voices that would restore the soul of our country and we're seeing that right now.

Plus a reality check on the World Economic Forum and why it matters.

I'm Naila Boodoo and from Axios, this is one big thing. Greetings from Davos, Switzerland, a town known primarily for hosting the annual World Economic Forum,

a gathering of global leaders, CEOs, economists, and more.

It may conjure images of the world's elite,

frolicking in a snowy alpine village,

in other words, a little removed from reality.

But as I've learned here already, there's also a lot more going

on beneath the surface, and there are surprising and powerful voices everywhere

you turn.

We have within our DNA multi generations of strength of knowledge of wisdom.

That's Von Sharp, Vice President of the Quinault Indian Nation, and former President of the National Congress of American Indians.

She's also indigenous co-chair for the World Economic Forum.

By just showing up and bringing that knowledge and strength to the table,

it's not just for us, but it's for the rest of the world that's looking for hope that is in desperate need for solutions.

And I think our stories are very inspirational.

Every day, it seems like we're seeing more coverage of indigenous leaders
