Summary

"A biography of Maria Tallchief, part of the She Persisted chapter book series. Maria Tallchief loved to dance, but was told that she might need to change her Osage name to one that sounded more Russian to make it as a professional ballerina. She refused, and worked hard at dancing her best, becoming Americas first prima ballerina. Many famous American ballets were created for Maria!"--, Provided by publisher
