Addressing Dementia in Indian Country: Where We Are and What Comes Next

As the older adult population among American Indians and Alaska Natives grows, so too will the incidence of dementia. American Indian communities are taking action now to increase awareness and build caregiver supports. During this webinar, local leaders will discuss the activities they are taking to prepare their communities.

Presenters:

• Carla Eben is the Numaga Senior Services Director at the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Proud mother and grandmother, she hopes to increase awareness of dementia on her reservation and to the tribes across the western Great Basin.
• Michael Splaine is owner and principal in Splaine Consulting, a small advocacy and government affairs consulting firm based in Washington DC.
