Kelekona is quite culturally diverse thanks to the variety of peoples that live within the nations borders.
Kelekona's culture is as diverse as its ethnic diversity. Although there exists commonalities amongst the North Songunese-descent cultures such as religion, certain traditions, and heritage, the primary locations of these particular cultures within Kelekona have given them certain variations beyond just the common North Songunese-descent culture. The ''[[Kinichuyuruna people|Kinichuyuruna]]'' people, for example, are a primarily mountainous culture and thus much of their unique traditions and practices revolve around the winter and the coming of snow; their homeland also happens to be home to the sole intact North Songun Nahibian temple in all of Kelekona, so they are often considered to be the most traditionalistic and conservative out of all of the extant North Songunese cultures due to them often having the most well-preserved artifacts from era of the North Songun civilization.
 
On the opposite end, the most divergent of the North Songunese-descent cultures are the [[Telekonese people|Telekonese]] people, whose homeland is located in the southern islands of Kelekona, and holds a sizeable presence on the southern coast near the islands. They are the least isolated culture thanks in part to them having lived in close proximity to the country's Arco and Carnish minorities. Because of their close contact with the nation's two recognized Occidental-descent ethnic groups, they have converted to the Arcer Ænglican form of Christianity for the most part, and thus generally observe holidays such as {{wp|Christmas}} and {{wp|Easter}} that most of the country does not observe. The next-most divergent of the North Songunese-descent cultures are the ''[[Gocahalliparuna people|Gocahalliparuna]]'' people, who happen to be the only other North Songunese-descent culture to be almost entirely Christianized; most ''Gocahalliparuna'' people are adherents of the Catholic Church.
 
The most modernized of the North Songunese-descent cultures that have not diverged heavily thanks to extremely close contact with Occidental-descent people are the [[Kelekonese people|Kelekonese]] people. Historically, the Kelekonese people once made up the ruling classes of the North Songun civilization, and it is their variety of the North Songunese languages that has had the great linguistic influence over the other North Songunese languages; the Kelekonese language has served as the basis for the ''[[T'inkirunasimi language|T'inkirunasimi]]'' language, a 19th Century attempt at standardizing the North Songunese languages. Because they were often the ruling classes of the North Songun civilization, they were, and still are in many cases, most often the wealthiest and most developed out of all the North Songunese-descent cultures.
