Description
Steffi Kim and Lexie Jackson published a study in 2023 on how culture shapes dementia care in Indigenous North American communities. Native elders face high rates of chronic disease and longer lives, yet their caregiving stories are rarely heard. One in five Native adults reports memory decline, and one in four is a caregiver, with Pacific Islander rates of dementia running twice those of white adults.
The authors drew on three sets of interviews with ninety-nine caregivers and elders. Common threads ran across the groups, but each also showed distinct values and needs. Access to help and moments of giving back to the next generation stood out in the accounts. The team closes with care and policy advice tailored to each community rather than one blanket plan.
