BILLY MILLS HONORING | The Osage Veterans Memorial Commission will honor legendary distance-runner, Olympic gold medalist, and veteran, Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota) on Friday, November 6, 2026, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Osage Casino and Hotel in Pawhuska (1421 John Dahl Avenue).

Join the Commissioners in welcoming Mr. Billy Mills and his wife Pat as they recognize him with the 2026 Osage Veteran Warrior Award. Mr. Mills is a retired U.S. Marine officer and one of the greatest distance runners in American history. And yet, he has remained humble and approachable, candidly sharing his story that gives hope and uplifts those who have struggled in poverty, loss, and isolation.

Mr. Mills will also be making a private address to the students of Pawhuska middle and high school and will be a special guest for the Hominy War Mothers Veterans Dance on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at the Hominy Village Community Center. The dance begins at 1:00 p.m., and the meal is served at 5:00 p.m. with social dance to follow.

🩰
Marjorie and her sister Maria Tallchief played pivotal roles in shaping ballet in America and around the world. Throughout her successful career, Marjorie performed with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1946-47), the Grand Ballet du Marquis de Cuevas (1948-55), Ruth Page's Chicago Opera Ballet (guest artist, 1958–62), and the Harkness Ballet (prima ballerina, 1964–66). She was married to George Skibine, a dancer and choreographer, who later served as artistic director for the Paris Opera Ballet (1958–1961), the Harkness Ballet (1964–1966), and the Dallas Civic Ballet(1969). Her most acclaimed roles include Night Shadow (1950), Annabel Lee (1951), Idylle (1954), Romeo and Juliet (1955), and Giselle (1957).
🩰
Marjorie served as director of dance for the Civic Ballet Academy in Dallas and for the City Ballet in Chicago. In 1989, she accepted the position of director of dance for the Harid Conservatory in Boca Raton, Florida, where she remained until her retirement in 1993. She danced for many heads of state, including John F. Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Marjorie passed away in 2021, becoming the last of Oklahoma’s cherished “Five Moons” to cross over. She and Skibine had twin sons, George Skibine, Jr., and the late Alex Skibine.
