Killers of the Flower Moon

The Osage of Oklahoma unexpectedly became wildly rich when the land to which the tribe had been relocated was discovered to contain a huge and valuable oilfield.

The headright each tribe member owned could not be sold. It could only be inherited. And this, along with greed and the lack of respect held for Native Americans in early twentieth-century white culture, led to a series of murders in the Osage community.

The murders themselves were horrific, but the way the murders were ignored, covered up, and minimized was just as horrific.

This is yet another story from history that I was never told in school. It's a horrific story, and it's a story that reminds us of the horrific things minority cultures in America have had to endure.
