  Tallchief was America’s first major prima ballerina, and she and her
  husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. In
  addition to Tallchief, four other American Indian ballerinas from
  Oklahoma achieved international recognition in the 20th century,
  including her younger sister Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau,
  Rosella Hightower, and Moscelyne Larkin. Celebrated as the “Five Moons,”
  their legacy of achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet
  today. 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. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MARIA
  TALLCHIEF,” “$1,” and “AMERICAN INDIANS IN BALLET.”
