About this user
The National Society for American Indian Elderly (NSAIE) was established in 1987 as a 501 (c) (3) organization to improve the quality of life for on-reservation and rural American Indian senior citizens by supporting a network of tribally established and administered services.
The NSAIE feels an obligation to do what we can to foster improved conditions for American Indian Elderly in full partnership from our member tribes. Good will come of it, when we extend the support that people need in a way that supports their cultural identity. We strive to increase access to supportive services that will allow American Indian Elderly to stay in their homes, as respected members of their communities and keepers of their traditions.
