About the Training

The Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) is an almost four-decade-old proven model to assist communities to heal from the lasting impacts of colonization. Historical and intergenerational trauma is at the root of hopelessness and healing is the answer to trauma. The GONA follows four developmental phases and values of Belonging, Mastery, Interdependence and Generosity.

Training Topics

The four development phases
  • Belonging
  • Mastery
  • Interdependence
  • Belonging​
  • Utilizing the GONA for Community Action
