Check out this United Press Intl photo from April 1965! The caption reads, “New York: Maria Tallchief, prima ballerina of the New York City Center Ballet Company, enjoys a ‘Busman’s Holiday’ as she performs the frug with Robert Larkin. They were at an after-theater party here (April 12) following the premiere of the play ‘Wet Paint.’” This photo was gifted to my dad from a friend, and he gifted it to me as the family historian that I am. Pretty cool to receive it in April 2026 some 61 years later!
Excellent debates today for Chief and Asst Chief! Sat with my dad who made the trip up. The debates both today and yesterday definitely impacted my votes. I like to see how candidates think on their feet and I was impressed with those who came prepared and had concrete ideas for going forward as a Nation. Looking forward to a debate marathon on Sunday. Will need more popcorn that day for sure!
At the Language Fair with Rose 🌹 at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman! So inspiring to see nearly 2,000 kids performing skits, singing songs, and praying in their languages. 𐓍𐓘𐓧𐓣͘ 𐓷𐓘𐓻𐓪͘

Cote’s wedding was a candle service, which was super cool, just like the two of them. Aunt Cecelia was repping it in that jacket! Cheers to a very sweet and talented young married couple 🥂
At the Osage Nation Museum with sister Dana 🎥 The film screening at the museum was unforgettable! 🎬 Hannah Waller has talent to spare so keep an eye out for her!
