Today, to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day (which is this coming Monday, October 12th!!) I’m sharing the stories of the Five Moons; five indigenous women from Oklahoma who gained international fame as ballet dancers in the early 20thcentury! They were brilliant performers, leaders, and educators, bringing attention to Native American artistry through their dances. I absolutely loved researching these women, especially since their words survive in books, documentaries, and interviews, and I’m so excited to share their narratives with all of you!
