*Title VI traditional food activities*
According to the National Resource Center on Native American Aging’s (NRCNAA) Cycle VIII Needs Assessment Survey [ https://www.nrcnaa.org/assets/5727-26698/nutrition-among-native-elders.pdf ] (PDF, 716 KB, 1 p), about 45% of elders eat traditional foods regularly.
And NRCNAA’s recently published report, Traditional Foods Among Native Elders [ https://www.nrcnaa.org/assets/5918-27831/traditional-foods-among-native-elders.pdf?v=2 ] (PDF, 8.3 MB, 16 pp), shows the most commonly eaten traditional foods by region.
Title VI programs can play a key role in increasing the percentage of American Indian and Alaska Native elders who eat traditional foods.
Read USAging’s 2024 Fast Facts: Traditional Foods in the Title VI Nutrition Program [ https://www.usaging.org/Files/Title%20VI-Fast%20Facts-Tradi-Foods-508.pdf ] (PDF, 1.3 MB, 2 pp) to learn about common ingredients for traditional foods, where to find them, and how to involve elders in the planning and implementation of traditional food activities.
*Traditional foods across generations*
The March 2024 LTSS webinar, Intergenerational Transmission of Traditional Practices and Foodways [ https://youtu.be/-4OJkt_YdxI ], highlights the role of food sovereignty—or the right of communities to control, produce, and distribute food—in helping Alaska Native elders connect with their culture and heal from historical trauma.
“Recognizing the power of plant medicine, our inner context, the power of our foods, the power of our land for healing and for wellness, we have to begin to integrate that back because that's truly what we have available to us wherever we are in terms of our health and wellness.”
– Dr. LaVerne Xilegg Demientieff

Upcoming webinar
*Aging with Pets: Benefits, Challenges, and Opportunities*
* Wednesday, January 22 *
This webinar will highlight the Pet Assistance Linking Support program at Benjamin Rose, a nonprofit organization in Cleveland, Ohio, that serves elders and their caregivers. The volunteer-based program helps with basic pet care needs, thereby enabling elders to age in place with their pets. The research behind the creation of this program will be presented, along with the challenges and successes of planning and implementation.
*Objectives:*
* Describe the demographics and social determinants of health that impact elders’ approach to pet care
* Describe how partners from multiple sectors collaborated to address the needs of older pet owners in their community
* Identify locally available resources that can help elders continue living at home with their pets

*Tips to improve elders’ mood and energy levels*
Reduced exposure to daylight during the fall and winter months can negatively impact our mood and energy levels, which increases the risk for feelings of loneliness and isolation.
That risk is further compounded for elders [ https://www.benrose.org/resource/understanding-seasonal-affective-disorder/?site=1 ] who live alone or have health issues that make it difficult to leave their home. Help caregivers address that risk by recommending they:
* Have elders sit near windows with the curtains open each day
* Weather permitting, take elders outside during daylight hours, even if it is cloudy
* Establish and maintain regular sleep and meal schedules to help regulate elders’ internal clocks
* Arrange virtual and in-person visits to keep elders connected to friends and family members
