What an incredible two days at the Honoring Elder Wisdom Conference. Miigwech to everyone who joined us in Walker to learn, connect, and celebrate the knowledge and strength our elders bring to our communities. Your presence helped create a truly meaningful gathering.
As you look through these photos, we hope you feel the same sense of community, culture, and shared purpose that filled each room. From powerful presentations and thoughtful conversations to moments of reflection, laughter, and learning.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our speakers and presenters, who shared their expertise, stories, and cultural perspectives with such generosity. Each session added depth and understanding to the work we all do to support elders, caregivers, and community health.
Northwoods Caregivers extends a heartfelt thank‑you to our partners and sponsors for making this event possible:
ACT on Alzheimer’s Giiwedinong Northland, Alzheimer's Association, Sanford Health , Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team-CERDAR , Central MN Council on Aging , Minnesota Board on Aging , Red Lake Nation, Prairie Island, and Shakopee Mdewakanton.
Your support strengthens the work happening across our region.
And to our dedicated Planning Committee — thank you for your leadership, time, and vision.
Thank you all for helping create a space where elder wisdom was honored, community voices were uplifted, and meaningful connections were made. We are grateful to walk alongside you in this work.
