Abstract	This learning module, which is part of a three-block series intended to help human service workers develop the skills necessary to solve the problems encountered in their daily contact with elderly clients of different cultural backgrounds, deals with communication and adjustment from the standpoint of the way in which elderly Native Canadians view and adjust to death and dying. The primary objective of the module is to identify the cultural issues surrounding Native Canadians' approach and reaction to death and dying. The following topics are discussed in the individual sections of the module: approaches to death and the sprituality that is characteristic of many elderly Native Canadians, family responses to death, reactions to the death of a spouse, and psychological reactions to death among older Native Canadians. A list of selected readings and descriptions of 10 pertinent films are appended. (MN)
