Allele Frequency Among Cognitively Healthy Members of an Ojibwe Tribal Nation.

Objectives: frequency varies by geography and ancestry. We provide data regarding the frequency of this allele in the Ojibwe people, the fifth largest Indigenous people in the United States.

Methods: Population study including 33 cognitively normal older individuals of an Ojibwe Tribal Nation (total population: 984; all with ≥25% Ojibwe ancestry).

Characteristics of Recurrent Visions of the Nonphysical World Among Cognitively Unimpaired Elders of the Ojibwe Tribal Nation.

Importance: Visual hallucinations are a core feature of dementia with Lewy bodies and primary psychiatric disease, yet identification of a hallucination vs normal spiritual experience depends on cultural context. Almost no information exists in the medical literature regarding normal spiritual experiences in American Indian participants in the context of a neurocognitive evaluation.

Objective: To assess the characteristics of a normal spiritual experience in an Ojibwe Tribal Nation.
