The Oklahoma History Center is presenting a Podcast celebrating women for Women’s History Month, A Very OK Podcast. It is a new podcast focused on Oklahoma’s Native American ballerinas, Maria Tallchief, and Marjorie Tallchief (Osage), Yvonne Chouteau (Shawnee), Moscelyne Larkin (Peoria/ Eastern Shawnee), and Rosella Hightower (Choctaw) were all born in Oklahoma during the 1920s and went on to become prima ballerinas. Nicknamed the “Five Moons,” they achieved the pinnacle of success in their respective ballet careers, making their marks in America and on the international stage. They were named Oklahoma Cultural Treasures in 1997. A beautiful mural in the Oklahoma State Capitol, Flight of Spirit (above), painted by Mike Larsen (Chickasaw), pays tribute to them. Our guest on this episode are writer, director, actor, and dancer Russ Tallchief (Osage), the great-nephew of Maria and Marjorie Tallchief. Visit https:// www.okhistory.org/historycenter.
