Every two years, NICOA’s American Indian Elders Conference welcomes Native elders, stakeholders, elected tribal representatives, government agencies, and aging network providers from all over the country.
NICOA’s conference is the only national conference in the country focusing exclusively on the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native elders. It serves as a national forum for Native elders from across the country to gather and receive updated information on aging in Indian Country.
The conference features educational presentations from tribal, state, and federal organizations, as well as a diverse network of aging service partners with experience in providing services to Native elders. These partners provide information and updates on aging services, healthcare, civic engagement, and economic development in Indian Country. Workshop sessions include caregiver support, elder abuse prevention, health and nutrition, transportation, disease prevention, long-term services and supports, employment and training, financial assistance, and more. Keynote speakers from federal, state, and tribal programs and agencies provide program updates and listen to the aging needs of American Indian and Alaska Native elders.
