We're working to amend the Older Americans Act to better support Native American elders by enhancing their longevity, dignity, empowerment, and respect. This proposed legislation seeks to establish an advisory committee to address the unique needs of Native American seniors and ensure their voices are heard in the implementation of federal programs. Our goal is to provide tailored resources and support that honor and uplift our Native elder communities.
