I'm so mad that I'm today years old just learning about Maria Tallchief and all she's done for ballet! 😣 I love ballet and can't believe I haven't heard of her once! Excited to learn more about her though!

Very lovely ballerina. She used to have a studio in chicago. My grandfather actually fixed the flooring and all that for her and actually got to meet her. This was years ago though.

What an amazing performance & amazing share! I am currently reading Killers of the Flower Moon or should I say trying to read it. It just makes me sad. I follow a channel & they did a podcast where they were walking downtown Fairfax. There is a wooden statue of a ballerina outside of the Tallchief Theater, where they have a memorial set up. I had to try & see Maria Tallchief dance. What a beautiful performance!!!

Her arms are amazingly expressive-- so graceful under the most ambitious movements. Wow. Yes, I think she may be the best-- and I've seen Margot Fonteyn, Nuryev, Baryshnikov and pricnipals of Boston Ballet last 30 years.

such a beautiful sense of musicality and dramatic timing, and lots of flexibility and flair in the poses - she captures the mix of poetic swan and emotive human personality very well.

I’m originally from Singapore and I had heard of her and seen some film of her magical dancing… so I don’t know why people here wouldn’t have heard of her. I also worked with Pacific Northwest Ballet and the dancers were certainly aware of her, as well as those of in marketing and development. At any rate, Maria Tallchief is an American legend and icon of the highest order…

It's about time to see honors such as this for the First People. Certainly this was NEVER mentioned in schoolbooks. Writers of schoolbooks MUST have varied ethnic writers/historians at the table.

She was beloved and famous, and always honored her Osage background. However, Tallchief considered herself a ballet dancer who happened to be a Native American not vice versa. Her autobiography is worth reading.

I love the term First People because that's what Native Americans were. They were first, and if we whites hadn't committed genocide, they would still live on this land. Furthermore, they would have respected it enough to not destroy it for profits.

Strength, grace, precision, and the negative space between movements creating tension with her partner (and story), when other ballerinas would have chosen hyper flexibility, delicateness, virtuosity. She was a true artist.
