About

Gathered: A Native Made Marketplace in Alpine's Viejas Outlet Center is a Native-owned boutique established in 2018, curating handcrafted goods from more than 25 tribal nations across the United States. The shop's inventory of beadwork, woven blankets, turquoise jewelry, and Indigenous-authored books parallels the cultural preservation work at Barona Cultural Center & Museum on Barona Road, grounding East County San Diego's Native heritage in both retail and institutional settings. Gathered also stocks the full Dixie Belle chalk mineral paint line and Pendleton products, hosting ticketed craft workshops that teach furniture-refinishing and mixed-media techniques. The Willows Road location places the boutique inside the same Viejas Casino & Resort complex that houses Viejas Bowl, drawing from the high-traffic resort corridor. The store's in-house beauty line uses soy-based candles with a proprietary signature scent and chemical-free body scrubs formulated from all-natural botanicals including shea butter, sea salt, and essential oils.
