What Te Ata Is About

Mary Thompson Fisher was a woman of the Chickasaw Nation and grew up in what was then called Indian Territory. She left home to become an actress, but found her real work when she started telling her own people's stories on stage. Under the name Te Ata she travelled America and Europe, performing Native songs and stories at the White House and before royalty. Q'orianka Kilcher takes the lead in Nathan Frankowski's film, with Graham Greene and Gil Birmingham also in the cast. Chickasaw people worked on the production both in front of the camera and behind it.
