Tallchief was America’s first major prima ballerina, and she and her husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. A nod to the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief’s American Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they inspired.
