This is a short historical docudrama about an early 20th century young Chickasaw woman from Oklahoma, known as Te Ata, who became a famous actress and performer despite discrimination and prejudice against her as a Native American and a woman.
She eventually became a friend of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and a legendary storyteller and performer of traditional American Indian cultural stories and myths. I had never heard of her before, so this was an interesting and worthwhile revelation. Recommended.
