An annual conference in Honolulu, HI to advance research in the area of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) in Indigenous populations worldwide
Happy final day of IIDRN! 🌴

We are so grateful for the time we shared with our Elder Panel on Day Two. Their voices, stories, and guidance ground us in Indigenous brain health, reminding us why we do this work. We will carry their wisdom forward into future conversations and collaborations.

From honoring Elders to cultivating an international community, this morning has been filled with conversations rooted in building community and resiliency. 🌱

Thank you to our featured presenter, Chelsea Gabel, for sharing Indigenous-led research, networks, and community well-being in Canada.

We began our morning by Gifting a Blanket to IIDRN Co-Chair, Dr. Makarena Dudley - a gesture of deep respect traditionally given to honor significant accomplishments, spiritual leadership, and those who care for and guide others.

Thank you for all you have done for Indigenous communities worldwide
