CORRECTION: Bill Smith was not Osage, but white, and the photo I used for him was mislabeled online. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the photo is actually of William Stepson, another victim, who was Osage. I couldn't find any photos of Bill Smith. There have been a number of comments about the line near the end of the video where I said, "If it hadn't been for the money and oil, perhaps none of this would have happened to the Osage." I just want to say that this was not intended to downplay the role that the perpetrators played. The truth is that I couldn't think of a good way to end the video, so I went for something generic. I think the video as a whole makes it clear that the victims deserve empathy and not blame. Please don't look too much into that last line. There's also some misunderstanding about my reference at the end to getting rich "without doing any actual work." This was not a dig at the Osage, but a dig at the perpetrators, which is why the language is a bit strong. The last thing I want is for people to think I was disparaging the victims.

The story reminds me of Winston Churchill's response in America to reporters during the War when asked about proposed Indian independence. "What Indians are we talking about? The Red ones who under American control have been decimated? Or are we talking about the Asian Indians who under British rule, their population has quadrupled?"

That was a great book and unlike many other Native American tribes, the lawyer who headed the talks with the US government was adamant that the Osage retain mineral rights. The US government to this day still owes this tribe millions in a settlement that took almost 100 years to resolve.

As a member of a federally recognized tribe, I can tell you that things like this are the reason why so many natives tend to keep to their own and learn from a young age that you do not disclose to non tribal members when you get per capita (if at all. depends on the tribe). Even then, we still get people who only show up around the time of year when it's distributed and try to aggressively sell us things. I have no idea how they know when we get it.

Charles "Indian Charley" Curtis was VP under President Herbert Hoover. Charley's mom was mixed Kaw / Kansa / French from Indian Territory. Charley did good in school eventually became Congressman and dealmaker. Curtis thought all Indians should modernize, and assimilate, but his efforts were twisted by all the greedy politicians when Oklahoma became a State. The Indian Claims Commission formed to "help & reward" the tribes would often terminate their tribal status! The Indian Gaming laws sounded good, but casinos were built by massive loans so banks and corporations pulled-in big profits... and donated back to their favorite politicians. Famous Cherokee Will Rogers often called them Congress Critters, and he was right!

I think it’s a big part of American Academia to try and push the narrative all this was “long long time ago” it’s a lot of indoctrination and societal conditioning to get us to this point. To the point of us being in awe at the fact of how CLOSE they were/are to our present times. It was all planned.

I just saw the movie and one of the lines that really stood out to me is a sentiment you echo here. The undertaker said The Osage don't work for a living and they got rich for nothing off oil. It made me realize that I have never ever once heard a white oil barrens or their families be accused of being rich for nothing without working. Even Paris Hilton gets accused of being famous for nothing more than rich for nothing. It really speaks to the assumption that it's natural for some white people to be ridiculously wealthy, but there is no other race in America whose wealth will go unquestioned. Or often like the Osage and Black Wall Street in Tulsa, it won't go unpunished.

This is such a moving story and extremely, extremely sad! What even sadder is native Americans still suffer to this day! We took everything from these people and left them on land that no one wanted. Greed is such a devil and it doesn’t take much for it to rise again. From a small child I always thought why are they so poor and live so badly. When I grew up I realized we took everything from these tribes and the government did nothing but told them to live on renovations through out the United States. I don’t like gambling but it’s a income that has helped many tribes to continue to grow! In many areas of the United States these tribes have many women go missing and our government doesn’t do anything to really help. This story really moved me and makes me angry that in all these years nothing hasn’t gotten any better !

I watched the film 2 nights ago. While I loosely understood what had happened and more particularly why, this excellent video clears up anything I didn't understand. Thank you. The fledgling FBI, I think, knew the motive very soon into their investigation and followed that with the likely guilty characters. As the video states it was the difficulty in linking all the complex financial payments back to the single source, Hale. Robert De Niro is shown as a largely beneficial man (offers $1,000 reward for information on 1 killing, opens a Ballet School) and that must have confused somewhat any Osage thoughts that he was the true evil amongst their people. In contrast, when behind closed doors, his ruthless character is revealed as he plots and pays to have his dirty work done for him.

I’m an Apple employee. Just saw the movie today at Steve Jobs theater. It was an exclusive advanced prescreening for employees. Scorsese was here too. It’s undoubtedly one of the best movies of Scorsese and Leo. So heartbreaking and powerful

Thank you for this recap. I just finished listening to the book and it was nice to have the summary and be able to see the pictures. I will be looking for other videos on your channel!

Thank you for the story and research. Keep doing this to shed as much light and truth as you can 💚

There's a film dramatization of a story very similar to this called " Thunderheart " starring Val Kilmer. It's about a half Indian detective played by Kilmer who's assigned to investigate the m*rder of a Native American on a reservation which leads to a much wider conspiracy that puts his life at risk. It's one of Val's best and a great movie that should be seen. Especially if anything about the story covered in this video is compelling to you.

@@coryd2668 How cool. I did a rewatch after not seeing it for over a decade and learned that the film was inspired by real events in the 70s. Which was tragic to see was still happening well after Moon's story took place in the 20s. It was a little slower than I remembered for the first third of the movie. But stick with it because it picks up. And Ray's journey (Kilmer's character who was an FBI agent not a detective as previously stated) still holds up well and is what makes the movie. Hope you enjoy it.

The Native Americans have been placed in difficult positions since the beginning, and never given the respect deserved. My respect for these people and their culture, needs to be taught to all Americans across the board.

If you're looking to find out more of native history try reading Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. I'm half-Mexican 1/2 native and my Mexican Mother gave me this book because she wanted me to understand more than what they were teaching me in school. There is a HBO movie But of course it's not as good as the book that can't fit everything into it but both are very good. Just wanted to say thanks for supporting our history at a time where people want to erase it. I'm from Oklahoma and we are still dealing with a governor who thinks. We have too much say and too much power and actively tries to strip us of it. We stood together as one and said NO which is very rare for all tribes to stand together It only happens in times of crisis. All history is beautiful even in its tragedy and I just want to say again Thanks for supporting ours

I recommend that everyone read the book. He has also written "The Lost City of Z."

There didn't use to be fences and borders and people's traveled freely and migrated with the seasons. No one owned anything but wanted for nothing.

As an Australian this story has a particular resonance as across this vast country Aboriginal tribes were decimated and had their land taken with the loss of great mineral and resource wealth. Generations of tribes were misused as slaves on the many huge cattle stations. The little money sometimes doled out for sweat and tears work was then often stolen by guardians. Aborigines seen as having committed crimes were shackled in chains and marched through outback areas to harsh prisons were they were held before appearing in court usually without legal representation other than that presented by the police who had imprisoned them. Punitive raids were widespread leading to massacres and terrible injustice. In the north of Australia a police force comprising Aborigines recruited in the south were used to murder and wipe out communities regarded as a threat to the white colonists who had spread across the nation like vicious locusts.

Thank you for this video, I've never heard of this story. It's very sad. I can't wait to see the movie, wish is in theaters now.

Very well-narrated and well-put together documentary.

It’s pretty crazy that even today, the governments of North America are still trying to take what little the native peoples have of their culture and property.

Not really. The federal government is the best protection natives have. It was the FBI who stopped this plot against the Osage. I assume your main reference is the Dakota pipeline. That pipeline isn't on native land, the protests were against the pipeline because it ran through a river that went by the reservation (along with tons of other places). The protests were justified, pipelines have a tendency to burst, but it wasn't a case of land theft. Any elected government knows that trying to take land from reservations would be political suicide.

@@greyfells2829 There is a long history of many, many broken treaties. The forced migration to marginal, unwanted and unproductive lands. The active destruction of culture through forced attendance to “Indian schools”, the banning of native language and religions, the forced sterilizations up until very recently, etc. Also, just because it didn’t happen yesterday doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, and that the effects don’t still play a major role in shaping the state of native culture and communities today.

My grandfather was a judge at 21 in kingfisher Oklahoma. His wealth was staggering and consisted of mineral rights. The entire history of this man sounds oddly suspicious considering.

Excellent narration!!! It helped us understand the film

This video was well put together.

I had never heard about the Osage murders. Sad, but fascinating story. Beautifully narrated. Looking forward to the movie later this year.
