The Cannon Beach Library will host a family-friendly storytelling event with Native American educator Karen Kitchen at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.
With traditional stories and song, Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages. Children also can experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.
A member of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma, Kitchen is an educator and musician in Oregon. She works as a student support specialist for the Portland Public Schools’ Indian Education Project, helping American Indian and Alaskan native students complete high school and enter college.
A musician who studied vocal performance in Paris, France, Kitchen, who sings in several languages, also teaches Native songs to children ages 3 to 5 in a Native Montessori program. She performs with the musical group Border Crossing.
Kitchen also is outreach director for Painted Sky, a not-for-profit organization that honors Native American culture by making it possible for Native children to study music and dance.
Kitchen’s visit to the Cannon Beach Library is part of The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month. The weekend of Nov. 15 and 16 will be filled with art, film and conversation focusing on the Native American experience.
