On the Far End

  • Springer Opera House 103 10th Street Columbus, GA, 31901 United States (map)

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.
