About
From June 21-23, 2024, ‘ataaxum Pomkwaan hosted “We Are Sacred: Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) 2024” hosted on the homelands of the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians. The 3-day gathering welcomed over 30 young adults who joined 30+ facilitators and volunteers from the San Diego and Riverside County reservation areas and organizations. Structured around a cultural-based intervention curriculum developed in 1992, the purpose of GONA is to provide space for young adults to address community-identified issues that are potential barriers to their healing process. Participants strengthened their sense of self-identity through participation in Indigenous practices including cultural, spiritual, and physical activities. We are so happy we could provide support to this important event.
