A Deeper Dive Into the Osage Indian Murders

If you are still avoiding spoilers for the movie Killers of the Flower Moon, you might want to skip this video, which is the historical account behind the film, but at this point there are few people going to see the film without knowing what it's about. We linked to information on the Osage Indian Murders back in the spring, but Weird History tells the true story with plenty of details that may or may not be in the film. For this video, the narrator has dropped the usual jokes and snark, as is appropriate. The visuals are a bit jarring, though, as we get a combination of historical photographs, characters illustrated by the actors who play them in the movie, and anachronistic stock video footage. They still aren't as jarring as the huge numbers of murders that no one talked about, because talking about them could endanger your own life. History can be brutal.
