| Hina Falaa production story of early Chickasaw Nation |
On November 7, the Chickasaw Theatre Company presented a one-act play entitled Hina Falaa, The Long Journey. The play was adapted by Lorie Robins, tribal Performing Arts Coordinator, and included original music composed by David Ballard, tribal Multimedia Department Creative Manager.
Through music, dance and colorful costume and set designs created by the Multimedia Department, Hina Falaa told a story from long ago, when two brothers, Chiksa and Chatah, led their people to a new home in a far-off land. From this long journey, two great Indian nations were created, the Choctaws and the Chickasaws.
The play, directed by tribal Arts and Humanities Division Administrator Lona Barrick, included a special appearance by the Chickasaw Children’s Choir, conducted by Phillip Berryhill.
