Elizabeth Marie "Betty" Tallchief (#Osage family name: Ki He Kah Stah Tsa) was an #American ballerina. She was considered America's first major prima ballerina, and was the first #NativeAmerican to hold the rank. Her father was of the Osage Nation. Her mother was #Scottish & #Irish. Almost from birth, Tallchief was involved in dance, starting formal lessons at age 3. When she was 8, her family relocated from her birth home of Fairfax, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles to advance the careers of her and her younger sister, Marjorie. At 17, she moved to New York City in search of a spot with a major ballet company, and, at the urging of her superiors, took the name #MariaTallchief. She spent the next five years with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, where she met legendary choreographer #GeorgeBalanchine. When Balanchine co-founded what would become the New York City Ballet in 1946, Tallchief became the company's first star. With Balanchine's difficult choreography and her passionate dancing, she revolutionized the ballet. Her 1949 role in #TheFirebird catapulted her to the top of the ballet world, establishing her as a prima ballerina. Her role as the #SugarplumFairy in #TheNutcracker transformed the ballet into being America's most popular which would later turn into a Christmas tradition. She traveled the world, becoming the first American to perform in Moscow's Bolshoi Theater. She made regular appearances on American TV before she retired in 1966. After retiring from dance, she was active in promoting ballet in Chicago. She served as director of ballet for the Lyric Opera of Chicago for most of the 1970s, and debuted the Chicago City Ballet in 1981. She was honored by the people of Oklahoma with multiple statues and an honorific day. She was inducted in the #NationalWomensHallofFame and received a National Medal of Arts. In 1996, she received a #KennedyCenter Honor for lifetime achievements. Her life has been the subject of multiple documentaries and biographies. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🩰🎖#WomensHistoryMonth #mixedgirls #mixedhistory (at Women's History Month - March) https://www.instagram.com/p/CapycRTldct/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chapter Seven: Are You Still Having Nightmares?

"I want that for you. I want you to find people who understand you, who you want to spend time with." Bucky could feel Maggie working hard not to mention Sam.

He sighed. "Well, on that note, Yori set me up on a date."

She laughed, which he really should have expected. "Oh yeah? Similar age bracket, or are you going for the younger ladies still?"

He rolled his eyes. Jealousy had never really been their language. "The waitress at Izzy's. I've made it very clear that I've got a girlfriend, but they didn't believe me, doll, they think I'm fibbing about having a gorgeous rich girlfriend out of town."

She was still laughing. "You could tell them who I am, I don't mind!"

"Then they'd believe me even less!"
