We’re gathering reflections on what it means to be recognized as an elder in Native communities today. While highly revered in Native culture, the title of “elder” lacks a universal definition, prompting questions about whether it signifies age, a specific role or an earned distinction. In this video segment, Brian Bull delves into the nuances, highlighting the difference between being an elder and simply being elderly. We invite you to explore the questions with us. Tell us what it means to you. You can write us on Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, Substack, Facebook, Bluesky, and X.
