Description:Listening and learning are the first steps toward developing a broad response to Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The Healthy Brain Initiative’s Road Map for Indian Country encourages American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) leaders to start a conversation within their communities about how dementia affects all generations — individuals living with dementia, their families, other community members who help provide care, and even future generations if Alzheimer’s disrupts the sharing of cultural traditions and heritage. An initial community gathering to discuss dementia could begin with an invocation drawing on the community’s traditions, such as a prayer or performance of a tribal song. The person leading the discussion may then acknowledge Elders and thank hosts for the space and refreshments. After sharing a personal story about journeying with a loved one who has dementia, the leader could explain the goals of the gathering are to listen and learn.
