On the Far End

Arizona Arts Live
Start Date
October 12 @ 7:30 pm
End Date
October 12 @ 9:30 pm

In a captivating one-woman performance, playwright, actor, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Sovereignty; Manahatta) recounts the pivotal moments in the life of activist Jean Hill Chaudhuri who served as Executive director of the Tucson Indian Center, the Traditional Indian Alliance, founded the first off-reservation Indian Health clinic in Tucson, and was inducted into the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame posthumously in 2013. From the Trail of Tears to the Supreme Court’s landmark opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma that upheld the sovereignty of the Muscogee territories, Nagle sheds light on her mother-in-law’s relentless pursuit of justice and a legacy of broken promises between nations. Watch as On the Far End intertwines Chaudhuri’s personal 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–to highlight the resilience of Indigenous communities and the need to confront historical injustices. “‘On the Far End’ is a beautiful and noteworthy one-woman play … acknowledges the generational effects of the Indian Removal Act on Native American communities. This play calls attention to the importance of fighting for what is right” (MD Theatre Guide).
