On October 17 and 18, Muscogee leader Ella Jean Hill traces her family’s history from the Trail of Tears to her grandfather’s allotment in central Oklahoma. In an astonishing one-woman play, she shares her story – the Native boarding school she fled on foot, her marriage to a young Bengali scholar, and the advocacy that became her life’s work. With On the Far End, a reference to the landmark Supreme Court opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma that upheld the sovereignty of the Muscogee territories, Mary Kathryn Nagle, one of America’s leading playwrights (Sovereignty; Manahatta), weaves a deeply personal account of one family – her own mother-in-law’s – and a legacy of broken promises between nations.
