Kids Club: Maria Tallchief

Your child will explore the life and legacy 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 that rank, Tallchief's story is one of perseverance and cultural pride. During this hour-long program, kids will learn how she broke barriers in her field, championed Native American traditions, and became an inspiration to young dancers everywhere. This Kids Club session is designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade and is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month programming. It's a great way for kids to discover an important historical figure while engaging in age-appropriate activities. The program runs for one hour and takes place at the Downtown location.
