Gathering of Native Americans Substance
Abuse Prevention Curriculum (2000)
The Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) Curriculum is intended
to provide culturally specific substance abuse prevention training
in Native American communities. Originally implemented in 1992,
the curriculum has been condensed and made more conducive to use
on a local level. It is an important tool to use in providing
structure to community gatherings addressing the effects of alcohol
and substance abuse. GONA has four major themes, relating to the
four levels of life's teachings. They are: (1) Belonging- a time
when infants and children learn who they are, where they belong
and a sense of protection; (2) Mastery- a time when adolescents
and young adults learn to understand their gifts, their vision,
where they come from, and how to master their talents; (3) Interdependence-
a time for adulthood, responsibility to others, and an interconnectedness
with all things; and (4) Generosity- a time when a person learns
to give back to their family and community through sharing wisdom,
teachings, culture, rituals, stories, and songs.
