About Nak'azdli Elders Society

The Nak'azdli Elders Society is a dedicated society that provides a welcoming and supportive space for our cherished Elders. Our mission is to foster a community where elders can come together to socialize, engage in cultural projects, create crafts, and participate in cultural & language revitalization efforts. At the Nak'azdli Elders Society, we understand the importance of preserving and celebrating our rich heritage. Our activities are designed to honor the wisdom and traditions of our Elders while promoting their well-being and active participation in the community. Whether it's working on traditional crafts, sharing stories, or simply enjoying each other's company, we offer a variety of programs and events that cater to the interests and needs of our members. We believe in the power of community and the importance of cultural continuity. By providing a space where elders can reconnect with their roots and pass on their knowledge to younger generations, we contribute to the preservation of our language and cultural practices. Join us at the Nak'azdli Elders Society, where every elder is valued, respected, and encouraged to share their unique gifts and experiences. Come hang out with us, engage in meaningful projects, and be a part of a vibrant community dedicated to cultural enrichment and social connection.
