Something interesting to note is how the Ossage murders took place around the same time of the infamous Tulsa massacre with both events taking place in Oklahoma State. Racism and greed can make people do the most despicable things.

Yes. Plus I'm reminded of the weird merge and variety of motivations. Greed, patronizing people viewed as non-whites as needing white supervision, outright hatred, jealousy. Similar abuse occured throughout USA where people developed self-governance due to organizing their communities or towns, or orchestrated control such as this.

The Osage were moved from their traditional country to a reservation.When the government realised the land would be more profitable for white Americans, they decided to move the tribe again.Sick of being relocated, the Osage asked to be given a place no one else would want and that is how the tribe ended up in possession of oil rich land.

We have these types of stories in every corner of the world where indigenous communities lived and still living. Their suffering is we can't imagine. We live in one place for lets say 50 years and when somebody comes and try to push out us from our home, what a rage we feel. Think about that these tribes lived there for 1000s of years and the way they felt we can't imagine.

Yea they actually show how that happened during the same time in thus movie
I was raised in a Tribal community, about 75 miles east of Pawhuska. The Elders, repeatedly taught that humans, must go through a changing of their Spirit, Heart, and brain to treat another human, as the ‘whites’ did, and that is a deeply awful experience. We were taught to ‘have some sympathy’ for those, who had undergone that change. I appreciated how easy that was for me RE: many of those, doing the harm (often to themselves) in the KiotFM movie.

I agree with the Elders; the inhumanity and injustice on the part of whites represents a moral decay that strikes me as a genetic deviation.
I have been waiting for over a year for the movie. I have read the book many times as my paternal grandmother alluded to having descended from the Osage. I was very young when told this and she died at an early age. In my research I wrote a letter to the author including a picture of my grandmother but didn't receive a response. I made several attempts by contacting the Osage Nation office and received a response from Sarah Oberly but she could not confirm my information. My letter to David Gann is dated May 18, 2017.

There are more untold stories and narratives about the sufferings of indigenous communities in every country particular what the American colonizers did when they took over the Philippines Islands from Spain, after the Treaty of Paris. The American colonizers thought that Filipinos are not capable to manage and rule their own country. They also exploited the Indigenous communities of the Igorot in the Cordilleras, Northern Luzon where they‘ve been transported in the United States for the St Louis Exposition to be part of the largest human zoo at that time.
This is heart-rending.

@scentlessapprentice88

The United States has only been around for a few hundred yrs. People being entitled to someone else's things, isn't specific to a country that has only been in existence since 1776. People feeling entitled to someone else and their property has been a human condition since the Genesis of mankind. It started way before Osage. Where did humankind begin. People have been using others, taking from others, and even turning others into their own property and commodities for a very long time. If you think it's specific to America, as in the United States, you're shortcut to thinking. The US is so young that it's still considered an experiment, in retrospect to everywhere else in the world that has, at one point in time or another, instilled some form of social hierarchy and nominal system in the past.

Although, I actually never heard about it until I saw the trailer for “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Maybe it wasn’t covered in history class because they were murdered by private citizens, not the government. We learned about the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee and other harsh government programs/schemes to displace the Indians. Though since this involved early FBI, one would think it would’ve been covered as a historical landmark in the history of law enforcement … Well, I’m learning about it now!

The Osage had specifically retained the mineral rights to their land. This shows that they had at least an idea that oil might be found there and understood its great value. Hardly the foolish children that they were taken for. Had they been allowed ro manage their own money as they saw fit none of this would have happened. Eventually congress prevented any white from benefiting from Indian tribal wealth. Too late for this tribe.

So who got the land?
@tothelighthouse9843
Жыл бұрын
The land & the mineral rights are 2 separate 'assets'. Regarding mineral rights: it’s been illegal to transfer a headright share to a non-Osage person/group since 1978. So today, headrights are passed down primarily among descendants of the Osage who originally possessed them. However, due to historical circumstances prior to 1978 (ie the Reign of Terror, marriage/inheritance etc), it's estimated that 25% of mineral headrights are owned by non-Osage people. This amounts to approx 550 of the 2,229 total headshares.These 550 non-Osage owners include white settler individuals, churches, community organizations, & other American Indians. Info about the headrights is very murky, because the US govt refuses to be transparent. US govt mismanagement of the communal mineral rights funds has been a scandal, & I believe the Osage people have taken the US govt to court twice to seek the release of ALL information & get redress for mismanagement. As to the ownership of the land itself, rather than the subsurface mineral rights: the Osage people were forced by the US govt to end their communal ownership of the land in the early 1900s. All I could find is that 'thousands of acres' of that once communal Osage territory are now in non-Osage hands.

The new Scorsese film looks like it’s gonna be a cinematic masterpiece, The casting of Native Americans is pretty dubious to say the least. In every photo I’ve seen of the Osage from the early 20th century they look native, but Hollywood seems to always cast white folk who have a drop of native blood, or claim to have some native roots as lead roles. Lily Gladstone May we’ll be a brilliant actress, May well claim to have some native ancestry n May well affiliate with a tribe, but that role should’ve gone to some full blooded native actress, or at least a mixed actress who actually passes for native. Gladstone just looks like white, I remember her once saying people think she’s Latino, maybe a white Latino, if she was in any Latin American country she be deemed white. Most Latinos who live in the US have far more native ancestry than Lily, but I guess they were wanting all the lead characters to be as white as possible. Has Hollywood regressed or something, I thought they were wanting to be more inclusive n “diverse”, should’ve maybe been more inclusive in letting an actual indigenous actress play an indigenous lead role no 🤷♂️

I feel the same way. Look at the photos in this clip of the Osage and of most Natives before they became mixed - they were very dark skin. Now in North America you can only find that look with the Maya and the Nahuatl and Indigenous Mexicans which is the majority of Mexico. But I don't blame the northern tribes like Cherokee and Osage for mixing, everyone mixed eventually, and their skin became lighter, but it would help if Hollywood made an effort to show Natives as they were (dark skinned) so that people can finally, finally understand that the majority of Mexicans and Tex-Mexicans/Tejanos ARE indeed Native American. Instead they get "Othered" it's so bizarre.

@@jameskemp8287In Mexico, some of these people are brown, dark brown. Why are many native peoples in the US called red, as in the red man?

Lily Gladstone is up for an Oscar. She was excellent in Killers of the Flower Moon. Maybe a full blooded Indian didn’t try out for the part of Molly. Either way it was very informative and a great movie.
