American Indian Ballerinas
“American Indian Ballerinas is a wonderful achievement.”
Jacqueline Onassis
by Lili Cockerille Livingston
This book is the first authorized biography of four twentieth century American Indian ballerinas: Maria Tallchief, Rosella Hightower, Marjorie Tallchief, and Yvonne Chouteau. All raised in Oklahoma during the 1920’s and
1930’s, these women went on to achieve international fame, each uniquely responsible for changing the image of a ballerina.
