The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month

The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, music, poetry, presentations and more, November 8th-10th. One of the key highlights will take place on Saturday, November 9th, at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, beginning at 4 PM. This insightful discussion will feature Cliff Taylor (Ponca), Pete Patton (Inuit), and Zoe Swain (Ojibwe/Anishinaabe). Zoe Swain will share her personal experience of being adopted out of her tribe and culture, reflecting on how this journey has impacted her life and sense of identity. The conversation will explore themes of reconnection through culture, family, and community, offering attendees a powerful opportunity to engage with these deeply personal stories.

The event is produced by Cannon Beach community nonprofits, including: The Tolovana Arts Colony, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, The Coaster Theatre Playhouse and the Cannon Beach Library.
