 Supported in part by research grant AG 12300 from the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD.

 This perspective is offered by a clinician/researcher with 16 years of experience working in Oklahoma and Texas with American Indian dementia patients and their families. This work was made possible by funding from the National Institute on Aging of an American Indian Satellite awarded to the Alzheimer's Disease Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and by the cooperation of the Cherokee Nation, the Dallas Urban Intertribal Center, and the Choctaw Nation.
