Who’s here after watching the teaser of Killers of the Flower Moon?
I highly recommend the book.
@@robertroddyJust finished the book later night. Shockibg, terrific, horrific and edge of the seat Thriller.
Can you find the wolves in this picture?

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.
Ever heard of Red Summer? They DON'T teach it in public school in the U.S. Also, the fact Pres. Wilson was part of the KKK
this thing was higher than hale. and higher than race. learn to see what's really going on
@@Darkness-ie2ylthe White people are being murdered and replaced as we speak
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.
'Slavery, Colonialism, Colonization and Genocide' are all evil things done by evildoers. 😔
For hard truths, pls read the informative and insightful, multi-pages comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle"... It's on CZcams.
Who's here after watching Killers of the Flower Moon? Great movie
It was so well done the acting was top notch every character was believable and a powerful story
I'm here watching it before the movie 😉

Not me
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.
I had 3 full bloods that I know about and what I learned from deep studies is that the Indian world in south , central and north America was absolutely brutal before whites came.
The aborigines of Australia were a speacial none violent people compared to most of the rest of the world but my ansestors we're absolutely brutal!!!
They were waring with each other constantly. There was nothing established.
@halo27legend
Well, aren't aren't you you full of empathy & compassion?!? NOT!
@@halo27legend So?
Hidden hand @ 10:13 bottom right of photo
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.
And then when oil was found, they decided they needed that too.
Bravo for them, temporarily
@@pendragon2012 no the Osage owned that land and kept it. They are their to this day.
The Osage paid for that land unlike most other tribes.
@@scottswan7830 his point being that when the oil was found, all of a sudden the wolves came...for the oil/money.
So now they are DEVILS and WOLVES
I read "Killers of the Flower Moon" and it made me sick to see how the Osage were murdered for profit. It decimated their tribe.
Just watched the movie. It was long but after reading articles & books. I think it was well made. Classic American Tragedy
The dominant White Protestant males have always killed anyone and everyone who stood in their way on this continent.
Yes this history should be taught. We need to understand the way our cultural and economic systems make murderers of us all.
The History Of all Native Americans more than demonstrates even through today how criminal the federal government not only has been but is.
@@angloamerica6448 Not just the federal government but state and local governments and white communities especially in the Southern states.
Speak for yourself.
@@gingercake0907 yup. You said it.
Read the book…twice. Who is here waiting for the movie to premiere?
I can hardly wait.
Indeed, so Hollywood can make its share of profit off the Osage story...does it ever end?
@@sandythomas865educational purpose wins here. More people need to know about this tragedy.
Ty PBS. Remember the struggle... Be the change around All You Touch.
Such noble people and profound, wise words by Charles Redcorn at the end of this! I hope they continue to heal from such immense evil!
My Grandmother was Osage and ran from that fact her entire life! She didn’t even share it with her grandchildren. 😢
If she did not have kin on the Dawes roll she was not Osage then.
@@robertsmith6408 She and her family are not on the Dawes Rolls but family births and burials are the proof we need. Tallchief is in my families archive. Relatives are in Dawes Rolls. My family ran as far as they could to erase that history. 😢
That is so sad.
@Robert Smith and who was in charge of the Dawes roll?
@@yusufa.1275 like I said some were ashamed to be Indian, so they did not enroll. Problem is technically the gov looks at the Dawes Rolls and if your ancestor is not on it like my wives is. then you are not Osage. They do not do it by blood and no other way to get a federal blue card,
This recommendation populated in my feed right on time. I just saw Killers of the Flower Moon yesterday. I can't wait to read the book. What a tragic, malevolent story.
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.
𐓄𐓪𐓩𐓩𐓘
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 love the contrast in footage age. Gives a real sense of the span of the issue. Well done!
Fascinating how they elaborate on Hale not being a “smart criminal,” because his power and status allowed him to be vicious. But then again…a man like that’s hatred gets the best of him.
There's a book that came out about this called Killers Of The Flower Moon by David Grann
Martin Scorsese is directing a movie called Killers of the Flower Moon based on the book. This video will be popular pretty soon.
@@zacharycollins9485 You got that right!, People jumping on the bandwagon, and this incident happened over 80yrs ago!.
Reading the book now! Wow.
@@zacharycollins9485 The other tribes were jealous, traditional enemy Pawnee were well off but not so well off that they werent envious so i heard say?
@@Indigostarfly I wouldn’t necessarily call it jumping on the bandwagon, some people, like me genuinely never heard anything about this tragedy until now.
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. Thank you. Mrs. Mona C. Murphy
Maybe time to write your book Osage by Osage? -
Thank you for posting and making this! It’s incredible the amount of history and information we get to learn about in the modern day.
This is a heartbreaking story and tragic😢it shows what greed can do
The schools won’t teach it!! The gov’mt wants to continue the illusion of liberty and Justice for all!!🤣
Greed and racism.
So much fake racism
Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
Greed is an animal.
Halito I’m a Proud Choctaw and I’m from Oklahoma and I never heard of this story until now it breaks my heart knowing this and many other things that we don’t know happened then to my fellow natives 🥲
Whites did the same thing to prosperous Blacks in Tulsa in 1921.
Sure did !
Them blacks is indian😮
And to the Native Hawaiians.
They also ended it all and freed over half the worlds population.
Yea they actually show how that happened during the same time in thus movie
Thank you PBS!
Just bought the book today, Killers of the Flower moon, Thursday, 7/13/23.
Theres 2 kinds of people in this world good and evil...I'm so sickened by the evil...on learning about the Osage...Democracy is much more important ...we are one people...there is much to learn here...
That’s white people.
That’s why they are banning history.
There are two kinds of people in this world - those who think there are two kinds of people and those who who don’t
@@biggreasy1221weak
Democracy is oppression of the minority. What happened to the Osage was a perfect example of how money corrupts. Turn from worldly governments and money and to Jesus.
@@jonesy5873 there are 2 kinds of people in this world:the ones who claim that folks who say "there are 2 kinds of people in this world the ones who believe that there are only two kids of people in this world and the ones who don't" are weak and there are those who don't.
Horrifying. I am praying and watching more about this. It’s still happening.
I still live in Osage and I feel bad for the Indians that got killed
*natives
Book read now patiently waiting for the movie. Such a tragedy!!!!
Hale was a segregationist and an influential member of the Democratic Party in Osage County. He had considerable influence over the local Osage County prosecutor. During his election campaign, the prosecutor sought Hale's endorsement and after receiving it won every precinct near Hale's ranch.
The terrible thing is the Justice system was never designed to manage these matters and could never adequately bring justice
But justice system had zero problems with power to handle the creation of the system they claim they can not control??
The book was incredible and going to see the movie this weekend!
Thank you !
So very very gutwrenching true story of wickedness
Over 500 young black men are murdered EVERY YEAR in Chicago alone and ignored by the Leftist MSM. Now, lets talk about wicked .....
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.
There’s no right way, to do wrong.
Facts.
How about the reverse? There's no wrong way, to do right.

...For those who can't see.
Thanks so much for posting
I knew this documentary would werck me. But here I am, seething again at man's inhumanity to man.
Podcast on Bloomberg called In Trust. Fascinating history.
This is heart-rending.
Here before people come here after watching killers of the flower moon
Interesting how the idea of being entitled to someone else’s things reoccurs in history particularly American history
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.
Greed root of all evil since the beginning of time….sadly history repeats itself and can only hope evil doers get their due. So very sorry for yet another example of injustice that was and is… glad this is brought to light
I hope Scorsese does this movie justice!😊
He’s never let me down so far, he’s got my faith.
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 as lead roles
Amazing movie saw it yesterday
He'll certainly make his share of profit off the Osage...will it ever end?
Movie was sad
GEEZ THE TULSA YTS WERE SOME OF THE MOST BITTER ENVIOUS HATERS TO EVER LIVE
Sadly the same thing happened any time tribes adapted and began earning wealth. This is just one example.
@@danyellerobinson5940 THEY DESTROYED ALSO BLACK WALL STREET IN THE SAME DECADE FOR THE SAME REASON. THEIR DESCENDANTS BELIEVE THEY EARNED IT HONESTLY.
@@blazayblazay8888 yep. The colonist came looking for freedom, then denied it to others. I can't tell you how many times my European ancestors (patrilineal) fought -- brother against brother -- to impose their will on each other.
You see how they murdered all of the black people on Black Wall Street in Tulsa !
Same thing when the blacks started being successful. Poor ignorance yts rose up against them driven on by media controlled by wealthy yts. Ain't America great?
Me, William A Martin born in Wewoka, Oklahoma.
Even in the 70’s I had to go to court to have a court appointed person to overlook a oil lease to look out for me. It was the law then I was not allowed to sign the lease without this US Government oversight, whereas white peoples can do their own lease.
thanks for posting. I never knew about this story.
Greed has many hidden secrets
Dwight man: “😈let’s steal their land and move them to “a worthless” area”
Osage: **strikes black gold**
Dwight man: “👿wait wait wrong piece of land! They don’t deserve that either!”
Who's here after reading the book?
This will never be seen in Ron De Shortest's Florida.
Do you know if they banned the book in Florida?
Ridiculous.
Vote Him Forever Out.
Huh? This is Oklahoma history, what a weird thing to say. The two have nothing to do with each other. In school we had Oklahoma history, not Florida history. I'm sure it's the same for them
@@shaylea5244 this is American history. It absolutley should be shared in schools across the country. It's barely even taught in OK, if at all, which is ridiculous.
Say hi if you r here after watching the teaser of Killers of the Flower Moon?
I’m so so very sorry…❤
We r seeing the movie, Killers of the Flower Moon this week in Calgary, Canada’s oil capital. Some of the Indian bands in our province r very rich because of the oil sands.
It's still happening today worldwide with native people
Who else thinks the old man threw him out the window?
Always been interested in this story when I saw a little bit about it in the F B I story starring James Stewart
The ability to rationalize literally any action is the greatest weakness in humanity.
I saw the movie twice. So sad it made me angry for those poor people (Osage). 🙏
I won’t spoil it but I didn’t like the ending.
Only 42k views, Americans must be in denial how sinister and evil their fellow countryman and woman behaved. Shunning and avoiding doesn't erase these historical facts.
Right. Because this is the ONLY place you can learn about this. There aren't books or other documentaries or anything. 🙄
What a ridiculous and unnecessary reach.
@@CharleyGurl Except...events like these have been pushed under the rug. Just like the Tulsa and Rosewood massacres. For " some " reason if non white people are not negatively impacted the stories just seem to get lost
They are busy doing same in some parts of World
Umm. You can’t assume more people haven’t watched this *one particular* video because they’re avoiding learning about the incident. There are many other videos on CZcams covering the subject. 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!
Misinformation
I'm Osage from the Grayhorse reservation all other Osage are different
I e read the book now I need to see the movie. Hope they got it right
JEALOUSLY AND GREED! "look what they got [sic]; let's take it from them."
To the beautiful Native people: Gather and protect books, because surely many are watching Florida educational choices as the Oklahoma Republican's blueprint to erase the truth from *YOUR* historical education. *DO NOT REST OR RELAX ON VIGILANCE REGARDING EDUCATION*
To combat Ron DeSantis and his fascism , every African American church in Florida now teaches African American history to its congregation.
👏🏾
This story horrified me
Can you find the wolves in this picture?
How di the Universities of Texas and Oklahoma end up with Osage Headrights?
Injustice of injustices! But life is a loop. Retribution will come to those who earned it.
🎉
Me !i am here after watching about the osage murders!!
I'm glad white settlers introduced writing so that their own committed atrocities could actually be remembered by future generations.

Everyday one discovers something heinous about USA
Unfortunately this is a story that describes all of human history at almost any given moment. Almost every resource-rich piece of land in the world has been acquired or changed hands through violence or raw political power.
that false claim does a deep disservice to these people. who is stealing money from bill gates, elon musk, etc.? we have countless examples of wealthy people who live full lives, not just undisturbed, but protected and adored. this story does not describe all of human history at almost any given moment. that is a patent falsehood.
Greed is An Animal
Greed is An American Animal Born and Bred the Day it was discovered by the Europeans and claimed. Greed and power fueled to go from East towards the West to search for more resources and more to take. What was ever restored to this country after it was depleted and gone? What do we have left than these people's stories and oral histories.
Yes, but the US claimed to be better than that. The handling of the native peoples generally, but especially in this case, was just racism and white supremacy. This was not your typical land grab by war.
It’s amazing what our government did. I believe they are trying it again, trying to tell us how we can spend our money
Man has dominated man to his harm
Psalm 37:10,11
Iv a feeling ALOT more people are going to start watching and reading about these stories, I know I’m into knowing , we can’t change we have got to learn from this sort of thing and stop the few getting what they want in manner they see fit. Love history and the stories that man’s kinds been through no matter the race
That’s why they are banning books and documentaries now. Pray for Florida.
I think there are records of this and I think it should be told. like always they only tell half the story to protect the the names of the people who did this and stole it should be known. Stop hiding the truth. They should not of died in vain.
👊🏾
Audio is abysmal
Lawyers are usually whom? So who plotted and stole their money? Name them!
Crazy how far people are willing to go for money
This film was before The Flowers of the Killers Moon.. this is a real film, well narration
It's Hollywood. Free Leonard Peltier!!!!
My heart goes out
Charles Whitehorn is relative
?.....Where All these Benefactors from STEALING the Money of the Osage? (There has tobe some type of Financial Documents STILL available!) # that type of accounting just doesn't Disappear!
These terrible things happened over 90 years ago. Paperwork can get "lost" or destroyed. I've seen several videos about what happened to the Osage people. From what I understand is that there is much oral history handed down from one generation to the next. 😢
3:31 bruh not like they didn’t have all of their land and way of life stolen
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?
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.
Whites
Who’s here after watching Killers of the flower moon
Leonardo Dicaprio movie brought me here.
I didnt know traveling in Paris was exotic
It all relative.
CONQUERED
love of money the root of all evil.
Criminal.
It is sad what happened to native Americans. As a black american I can empathize but they will not get justice until they treat natives mixed with black the same as the natives mixed with Caucasians
What’s interesting is today’s society would view this as unjust and unfair. A lot of people today scream out eat the rich would this still trickle down to first nations or was that be faux pas? We look at the Arab nations these days and Russia as well, too is it fair that the one percent gets to govern the price of oil?
Me
So many native Americans have lost their identity. My great-grandmother was full Osage and her husband (George) was full Cherokee their land was stolen by the city of Joplin condemning the land forcing them to sell. It sat vacant for decades. My grandmother married a white German making my mother half and me 1/4 but yet I'm denied my native roots because I have two native tribes in my blood. Yes they stole more than money.
like the oil giant doing to Africa now.....
The real crime is dudes toupee at 3:20
😂😂😂
“It’s not racist, it’s Osage!” WOW-we should do that now: it’s not class war, it’s Osage! 🎃
