Killers of the Flower Moon

the Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
Dec 30, 2019
Strange story about the plight of the Osage Nation Indian Tribe, in the early 1900’s. They had already been driven out of their original territorial lands and placed on a desolate reservation in Oklahoma. After reading this book, what amazes me, in this dramatic saga, is the way the US. Government dealt with the Osage tribe after oil deposits were found on their land. There were restrictions placed on Osage Native American Indians since it was felt that these people weren’t able to think for themselves handling their own money. Also, greed, murders from local law enforcements, deceitful people continue to swindled Osage from their wealth. Finally, the Osage looked to the Federal Bureau of Investigation under J. Edgar Hoover for help. Made me feel very uncomfortable how theses Native Americans were treated over all.
