Killers of the Flower Moon: A Report on the Murders of Osage Native Americans
The film Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese, depicts a series of murders that occurred in the early twentieth century, targeting Osage Native Americans. The Osage Nation had experienced significant wealth due to revenue generated from oil leases on their reservation. Each member of the nation received a portion of this revenue, known as a headright. Angela Parker, an assistant professor at the University of Denver, explains on a recent episode of the Resources Radio podcast that these headrights could be worth up to $500,000 in today’s dollars, providing a substantial annual passive income.
The Plot to Inherit Osage Headrights
The film portrays a sinister plan devised by William Hale, a rancher residing near the Osage Nation Reservation, to acquire Osage headrights. Hale and his accomplices aimed to consolidate the headrights through a combination of marrying individuals who possessed headrights and then murdering their non-Native family members. This scheme allowed them to gain control over the valuable headrights and exploit the wealth associated with them.
The film is an adaptation of the book about these murders, written by David Grann, and is currently being shown in theaters.
