“ [the elderlies, aging, AIAN] Wilma is evaluating her role as an elder within her community and wants input. Is her role to give instruction to the younger people and to allow those younger than her to learn from her successes and struggles? If so, does she have an obligation to actively get involved in the lives of the younger people? Or is her job to enjoy her golden years in peace – enjoy the “tribal elders” jacket, separate housing, parking space and special seating at bingo? Finally, she wonders if her tribe helped to create the separation between younger skins and elders. She wonders if making the elders separate from everybody else in the community – different accommodations for everything, from parking spaces to separate elders’ housing – is a form of glorified banishment? What is the proper role of an elder?
