- 'ataaxum Pomkwaan's GONA is an annual 3-Day Gathering for 18 - 30 year-olds to embrace culture and tradition. By providing a safe space for Indigenous young adults to learn, converse and socialize, we are reinforcing positive habits and self-promotion of our indigeneity.
- Following the GONA curriculum, we dedicate each of the days to specific aspects of living (Belonging, Mastery, Interdependence and Generosity).

- We Are Sacred: GONA 2025 was held at Los Coyotes Reservation Campground from June 20th to June 22nd. As our 5th Annual event, we had over 250 community members in attendance.
- Coming from diverse walks of life, we exchanged stories and discovered destined connections. Surrounded by traditional songs, language, food, medicine and ceremony, everyone understood this to be a sacred space, where in fact, we are sacred.
- Our GONA focuses on the young adults who do not often have healing spaces dedicated to them. The intention is to encourage youth leaders to dive deeper into themselves to awaken the ancestral knowledge that is already within them. With the guidance of honorable spiritual leaders and mentors, we gain the confidence to walk in a good way.
