Honoring Our Elders, Strengthening Our Circle
The Denver Indian Center, Inc.’s Elders Program supports and honors Native American Elders through culturally grounded services and community connection. The program offers social gatherings, educational opportunities, and health resources that promote well-being while celebrating Indigenous traditions. By fostering belonging and intergenerational sharing, the Elders Program ensures that the knowledge, stories, and wisdom of our Elders continue to strengthen the Native community for generations to come.
Social Gatherings
Building Connection Through Community Togetherness
Our social gatherings are the heart of our efforts to uplift Denver’s intertribal Elder community. Through meaningful events and shared experiences, we create welcoming spaces that reduce isolation, strengthen tribal connections, and honor the wisdom of our Elders so every urban Native Elder feels valued, connected, and supported.
These gatherings also provide opportunities for learning, storytelling, and cultural exchange that strengthen intergenerational ties. By sharing traditions, experiences, and resources, Elders play a vital role in guiding and inspiring the community while building lasting relationships rooted in respect, culture, and collective care.
