| Abstract | (create) Culturally appropriate caregiver training, respite care, and family support programs become increasingly important resources for development by health-care systems as the American Indian (AI) populations age. Cognitive impairment may present differently in older AIs due to different cultural values and different traditional activities. This chapter provides historical background information on American Indians and includes information on their cultural traditions. After presenting this background information, the authors make a series of recommendations for health care providers to consider when working with American Indian populations.
