Members o f the local Elder
Council fundraising committee
are raising money to attend the
National Indian Council on Ag
ing Conference this fall.
Chairperson Eliza Jim said
they h ope to raise enough
money for 40 elders to travel
to the conference in Tacoma.
The National Indian Council
on Aging (NICOA) holds the
annual conference throughout
the country, she said. “This is
the first time its in our area,”
Jim added.
So far the group is planning
to hold a breakfast on Saturday
during Pi-Ume-Sha and is also
holding individual flea markets
and com pleting various lun
cheons and sewing projects.
“We’re going gung-ho,” Jim
said.
Currently several members
of the elder council fundraising
committee are meeting weekly
to discuss fund-raising options
and plan upcoming events.
Because the Confederated
Tribes o f Warm Springs is a
member o f the hosting tribal
region, Jim added, the tribes also
donated 10 elk.
E ld e r C ouncil S ecretary
Lucinda Green said she feels
it is important for elders to at
tend the conference because it
gives them a chance to listen
to issues and co n c ern s o f
tribal seniors from all areas of
the country.

In addition, she added, they
receive important health care
information relating to seniors.
Because of that, Green said, she
is hoping they will be able to
bring useful information back
to seniors that didn’t attend the
conference.
Each year the NICOA con
ference is attended by elders,
tribal leaders, health directors,
social workers, health care pro
viders, senior service providers
and many other participants in
volved with senior issues.
The non-profit organization
was founded in 1976 in order
to ad v o cate fo r im p ro v e d
health and social services to
American Indian and Alaska
Native elders.
