Conference Report: 2009 Meeting of the American Anthropological Association Session on Culture, Health and Aging in Native North American Communities Marie’s Story Of Aging Well: Toward New Perspectives On The Experience Of Aging For Aboriginal* Seniors In Canada

In June 2009 Lori L. Jervis organized a meeting on ‘Aging and the Indigenous Peoples of America’ in Norman, Oklahoma that was sponsored by the Association of Anthropology and Gerontology. The idea of organizing a session for the 2010 American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans arose at this meeting. Subsequently Lori L. Jervis and I organized a session titled ‘Culture, Health and Aging in Native North American communities.’ This article summarizes the papers and presentations given at that session.
