Kids Club: Maria Tallchief

Your child will discover the remarkable life of Maria Tallchief, a groundbreaking figure in American ballet history. As the first prima ballerina in the United States and the first Native American to achieve this prestigious rank, Tallchief's story is one of breaking barriers and inspiring others. During this hour-long session, kids in kindergarten through fifth grade will learn how she dedicated herself to her art while also working 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 children to connect with an important part of American history and culture. It's designed for school-age kids and offers an engaging introduction to both ballet and an influential role model. The Carnegie Library welcomes families to attend.
