✦ Synopsis

Although the majority of American Indians do not live on reservations, little attention has been focused on urban American Indian elderly. Urban American Indian elders have aged in place, and the majority intend to remain in cities. First, the needs of American Indian elders are assessed and the under-utilization of Older Americans Act services documented. Then barriers to access are discussed and means to increase participation recommended.
