The Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) is committed to partnering with tribes in Washington to achieve mutual goals between sovereign governments. By developing partnerships with tribes and Recognized American Indian Organizations (RAIOs), existing Long-Term Services and Support partners and providers such as state and local government and private contractors, we believe the goal of comprehensive, culturally appropriate service delivery can be achieved.
This Monday, October 14, is #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
