Reuters Next has invited Kuuyux to speak at their ”Reuters Next" event that will bring together a diverse group of people who are shaping the future in this period of global upheaval and change. January 11-15th, Reuters Next will cover key issues from how to finance the recovery and shifting political sands, to the future of how we live and work around the world, and new angles on sustainability and free speech.
Reuters have invited Kuuyux to join this inaugural event as a preeminent voice on the lives of the Arctic indigenous communities as we tackle the trends shaping life in the 21st century. Even before Covid-19 struck, there were huge changes afoot in society and in the world. Now, Reuters are asking to re-examining together how we work and live, for the good of each other and the planet, in a world that needs to rebuild trust and accountability.
* This invitation from Reuters came as a result of the Earth-Day’s 50th anniversary, on 22nd of April, where Reuters interviewed our Elders Kuuyux and Kumu Sabra, followed by them launching the Wisdom Weavers of the World’s 14-minute-film which Kuuyux led and co-created. The film was simultaneously launched by us and others on social media. The film and interview were quoted by The Guardian, the NY-Times, and others.
