Kids Club: Maria Tallchief

Your child will discover the remarkable life of Maria Tallchief during this hour-long program at the library. Designed for school-age kids in kindergarten through fifth grade, this session introduces children to the groundbreaking dancer who became America's first prima ballerina and the first Native American to achieve this prestigious rank. Through learning about her accomplishments, kids will understand how she broke barriers in the world of ballet and worked to preserve Native American traditions. This program is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month celebration, making it a meaningful way for young dancers and history enthusiasts to learn about an inspiring figure. The Kids Club meets at the Hazelwood branch and runs for one hour. If you have questions about registration or need more details, reach out to Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh directly.
