In October 2011, Conscious Alliance sponsored a Coming of Age Gathering, held by Yellowbird, Inc, an American Native non-profit organization. The Gathering took place at one of the most beautiful and sacred sites for the Northern Cheyenne: Bear Butte, in South Dakota. 10 males and 10 females from the Northern Cheyenne Reservation participated in the gathering, with elders, speakers, and presenters guiding and chaperoning the youth while at Bear Butte.
