US film director Martin Scorsese poses on the red carpet upon arrival to attend a screening of the film"Killers of the Flower Moon" during the 2023 BFI London Film Festival in London, on October 7, 2023. — AFP picrecounts how the Osage nation of Native Americans gained significant oil wealth in the early 20th century and the murderous plot by outsiders to seize it.
In 1921, Congress passed a racist law requiring Native Americans to have a guardian of the oil wealth appointed until they proved their “competency.”From 1921 to 1925, a series of murders and suspicious deaths struck the Osage Nation, who have dubbed the period the “Reign of Terror.” Ernest Burkhart and Hale, after attempting to cover up the crimes, were convicted of murder and received life sentences in 1926 and 1929.
The murders of the 1920s left an indelible mark on the memory of the Osage community, which was heavily involved in the making of Scorsese’s film.
