- **Event Name**: Gathering: A Celebration of Native American Heritage Month
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, film, conversation and more, November 15th-16th.

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), poet Cliff Taylor (Ponca) and more.

All Gathering events are offered free of charge. Donations are encouraged.

At 7PM on Saturday, November 15th, award winning director Katsitsionni Fox will premiere her upcoming documentary, “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds,” at the Coaster Theatre. 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.

Earlier on Saturday, the Cannon Beach Library hosts a family-friendly storytelling event with educator Karen Kitchen at 1PM. With traditional stories and song, Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages. Children will also be able to experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.

On Sunday. November 16th, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum welcomes Brad Mix for a presentation entitled “Reclaiming the Mixed Blood Story” at 11AM. This conversation will explore mixed-blood identity, not only within the Métis Nation but across Indigenous and mixed-heritage communities today.

“This discussion isn’t just about Métis history,” says Zoe Swain, Cultural Outreach Coordinator at the Cannon Beach History 
Center & Museum and Gathering co-organizer. “It’s also about mixed ancestry more broadly. The question of ‘how Indigenous are you?’ can be deeply painful for many people of mixed heritage. What’s so inspiring about the Métis Nation is how they celebrate being both European and Indigenous, embracing that dual identity as strength, not conflict.”
