Continuing our tradition of recognizing and honoring Indigenous peoples, the Springer Opera House Theatre is including an additional original production to its current season: On the Far End, a one-woman show that tells the story of an Indigenous rights activist and powerful attorney. In addition to The Mvskoke Project, this production spotlights the rich history, cultural traditions, and ongoing legacy of the Mvskoke (Creek) Nation, whose ancestral lands include Columbus and the surrounding area.
On the Far End is a powerful one-woman show that explores the resilience and experiences of Mvskoke leader and activist Ella Jean Hill. Tracing her family's history from the Trail of Tears to her grandfather's allotment in central Oklahoma, she shares her story in an emotional one-woman play—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 2020 Supreme Court opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma that upheld the sovereignty of the Mvskoke territories, one of America's leading playwrights weaves a deeply personal account of one family and a legacy of broken promises between nations.
