One Heart Native Arts & Film Festival America’s story started long before traditional recorded history started keeping track. This fact is the focus of Spokane’s One Heart festival, concisely summed in its tagline: “The ongoing story of America, told by American Natives.” The weeklong festival was created to share and celebrate empowering Native-told stories in media such as film, art, poetry and music. Among the 2022 event’s slate is According to Coyote, a theatrical telling of the trickster coyote myth — read more about it in next week’s Inlander — with two free, public showings at Riverfront’s Pavilion on Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Oct. 10 at 11 am and 6 pm). Also on the program is an Intertribal Poetry Slam (Oct. 13 at 8 pm) and live music by Native artist Deekon Jones (Oct. 14 at 8 pm), both at Lucky You Lounge. Wrapping up the week is a Native films program at the Magic Lantern, including the premier of local filmmaker/director Misty Shipman’s Handsome Man (Oct. 14-15 at 6 pm).
