SUMMARY:15th Annual Peace Hike
DESCRIPTION:A Commemoration of Resilience and Remembrance\nOn New Year’s Day, Yachats, Oregon will host the 15th Annual Peace Hike, a meaningful event that honors the legacy of the indigenous peoples who endured immense suffering under government-sponsored genocidal policies during the 19th century.\nThe Peace Hike commemorates the tragic history of the Alsea Subagency (1860–1875), highlighting the story of Amanda, a blind Native American (Coos) woman who was forcibly separated from her daughter and marched barefoot with other captives over 80 miles of rugged terrain to the Alsea Subagency prison camp in Yachats in 1864. This annual gathering serves as a solemn remembrance of those who lost their lives and a celebration of the resilience of their descendants, many of whom participate in the event each year.\n \nA Time for Reflection and Education\nThe Peace Hike invites participants to reflect on the atrocities faced by the Coos, Lower Umpqua, Siuslaw, and Alsea Peoples and to deepen their understanding of this painful history. To support learning and reflection, participants are encouraged to:\n\nWatch the video “The Genocide of the Alsea Subagency ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6D-wkqXGy0 )”, narrated by Patricia Whereat Phillips, Miluk Coos, and the late Chief Donald Slyter of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians.\nExplore the detailed Amanda’s Trail Curriculum, created by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.\n\nWater, energy bars, and cookies generously prepared by the Yachats Ladies Club will be available at both the Commons and the Amanda Gathering Area.\nAdditional Highlights\n\nAll participants will receive a beautifully crafted Peace Hike button designed by artist Morgan Gaines, Quuiich (Lower Umpqua), of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians.\nCommittee members will be on hand at the Yachats Commons to provide guidance, maps, and answer any questions.\n\n
