That’s really great to hear! All I knew was that they had consulted the Osage and that a lot of the extras were Osage. It’s great to hear how meticulous they were and it gives me a lot of hope for the movie!

What? I’m a bit confused what you mean but there were totally elderly tribe members, some of them died naturally. This event took place over the course of 5 years. The reason we know that there were more than just the 24 investigated deaths was because the death rate from 1920-1925 greatly exceeded the norm.

It’s hard to come up with a good estimate since it’s not known what was a murder or what was a natural death. I was told it was around 100 or so growing up. You can talk to any Osage and they will have had a family meme bet who died during that era. My great great grandfather was one of the victims.

I have been looking forward to this movie for a while now and it makes me really happy to see other people excited too. I am Osage and I have family who was murdered during the Reign of Terror so the book is something that hits close to home for me. My ancestor is mentioned in the book as one of the murdered Osage. I’m hoping this movie does this horrible era justice but from what I have heard, it will. A lot of research has been done for this movie and a lot of time was spent on the Osage reservation. I’m glad these atrocities are being learned about outside of my tribe.
