Elder

The Tháŋkake Elder Project uplifts and honors Native Elders, our community’s knowledge keepers, teachers, and guides. Through cultural connection, holistic care, and opportunities for social and economic empowerment, this project creates space for Elders to thrive in mind, body, spirit, and community.

Get Started

The Tháŋkake Elder Project supports Native Elders aged 55 and older through services and programs that promote independence, well-being, and community connection. Rooted in Native culture and guided by holistic wellness, the project combines traditional teachings with modern care coordination to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health needs of our Elders.

Elder Services Include:

Elder Case Management & Support

Providing personalized case management to help Elders access essential resources that promote stability, independence, and overall well-being.

Cultural Connections & Community Engagement

Offering cultural teachings, gatherings, and activities that honor tradition and reduce social isolation through meaningful community connection.

Wellness & Empowerment

Delivering health education, skill-building workshops, and intergenerational opportunities that promote mental, physical, and economic wellness, blending traditional healing with western approaches.

Together, we are weaving a circle of care that strengthens resilience, preserves cultural teachings, and ensures every Elder is seen, valued, and supported.
