Elders Advisory Committee
Rooted in wisdom, our Elders help guide the generations to come.
Meet the Elders
The Progressive Tribal Alliance Elders Advisory Committee is a respected group of seven Native women whose wisdom, leadership, and life experience help guide our organization. As mentors, advocates, and community leaders, they offer valuable perspective that helps shape PTA's programs, strengthen our mission, and keep our work connected to the needs and values of Native families and communities.
Their guidance helps build stronger relationships, inspire future generations, and preserve the traditions and values that continue to shape Native communities. We are honored to learn from their experience and grateful for their dedication to the Native community.
