Kids Club: Maria Tallchief

Your child will discover the remarkable life of Maria Tallchief, a groundbreaking figure in American dance history. As the country's first prima ballerina—the top-ranking female dancer in a ballet company—and the first Native American to achieve this distinction, Tallchief broke barriers in her field while working to preserve Native American traditions. This one-hour program is designed for school-age children in kindergarten through fifth grade and offers an engaging way to learn about her inspiring legacy. This event is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month programming in November. It combines education with interactive activities, giving kids a chance to explore an important historical figure through the library's Kids Club format. The program runs for one hour at the East Liberty location.
