Descargar Te Ata (2016)

Te Ata (TAY AH-TAH) is based on the inspiring true story of Mary Thompson Fisher, a woman who traversed cultural barriers to become one of the greatest Native American performers of all time. She was born in 1895 in the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), during a time of change and hardship for Native Americans. Despite the attempts of government officials to fully assimilate Native Americans into "mainstream" society, the Chickasaw people remained committed to their traditional beliefs and practices. Te Ata was raised on the songs and stories of her Chickasaw tribe, which were passed down through generations of families and storytellers. It was these songs and stories that would influence critical decisions in her life. From a traveling performer to a Broadway stage, she never let go of her passions.Te Ata's journey to find her true calling led her through isolation, discovery, love and a stage career that culminated in performances for presidents and royalty. Yet of all the stories she shared with audiences, none are more inspiring than her own.
