A celebration of Native American Heritage Month, The Gathering returns to Cannon Beach November 15th-16th for a weekend of storytelling, art, film, and more. In its third year, The Gathering features a mix of indigenous voices, including filmmaker Katsitsionni Fox (Akwesasne Mohawk Nation), storyteller Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation), scholar Brad Mix (Red River Métis), and poet Cliff Taylor (Ponca).
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15th
The library will host Native Story Hour, a family-friendly storytelling event with educator and musician Karen Kitchen. Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages with traditional stories and song, highlighting indigenous authors and illustrators. Children will also be able to experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.
Award winning director Katsitsionni Fox will premiere her upcoming documentary, “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds.” The short film follows women responsible for caretaking of traditional seeds whose existence is threatened by centuries of colonial practices. The film explores food security, environmental disconnection, climate change, land theft and more. Following the screening, Fox will be joined by Cliff Taylor for a Q&A.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16th
The History Center & Museum welcomes Brad Mix for a presentation entitled “Reclaiming the Mixed Blood Story.” This conversation will explore mixed-blood identity, not only within the Métis Nation but across Indigenous and mixed-heritage communities today.
1PM – Stew and Bread Fellowship Lunch @ Tolovana Hall (3779 S Hemlock St, Cannon Beach, OR 97110)
The Gathering is produced by Cannon Beach community nonprofits, including Tolovana Arts Colony, Cannon Beach Library, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, and Coaster Theatre Playhouse, and sponsored by Escape Lodging. All events are free (donations are welcome). We gratefully acknowledge the Clatsop and Nehalem/Tillamook Peoples on whose ancestral homelands we gather.
