Duluth, Minnesota, United States

Dr. Jordan P. Lewis, Aleut, from the Native Village of Naknek, is the Associate Director of the Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team and a Full Professor with the Department of Family Medicine and Biobehavioral Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth campus. He is also the Co-Leader of the ADRD Data Sovereignty Advisory Group. Jordan is trained as a cross-cultural community psychologist and social worker, and a credential professional gerontologist. His expertise is in Indigenous successful aging, generativity and healthy aging, and Indigenous constructions of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.

Over the past decade, Dr. Lewis’s research agenda has significantly contributed to the field with community-based research discussions on cultural-specific approaches in Alaska Native (AN) successful aging and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) among Alaska Native Elders, including the development of a model and measure of Alaska Native successful aging. His research has also developed the concept of indigenous cultural generativity and exploring its role as a critical resilience resource has important implications for the wellbeing of Alaska Native/American Indians/Indigenous peoples, including Elders, dementia caregivers, and family and community members.
