1995 Fall Forum: American Indian Elders - A Neglected National Treasure
- Executive Summary
by President John Poupart
- Lack of services for elders highlighted
Keynote speaker David Baldridge, executive director of the National
Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, explains
political situation leading to neglect.
- Intergenerational relationships crucial to
Indian communities
Speaker Albert Whitehat teaches Lakota Studies at Sinte Gleska Tribal
College on the Rosebud Reservation
- Listening to the elders
Small discussion groups provided elders an opportunity to talk from
their hearts while everyone else listened

to be incorporated into program designs
Forum most valuable to social policy and service delivery agencies as
a tool to bridge the gaps in culturally-sensitive services for Indians
