On June 5, 2026 IHC CEO Orvin Hanson presented Pala Band of Mission Indians Chairman and IHC Chairman of the Board, Robert Smith with a custom IHC Official Seal emblazoned gourd in appreciation of Pala's continued commitment to the Traditional Indian Health Gathering. For the past three years Pala has generously donated the use of the Pala Rey Youth Camp and the Powwow Grounds to IHC to host the event for the community.
