“Killers of the Flower Moon” shines a spotlight on a bloody moment in American history, when over dozens of members of the Osage tribe met violent or suspicious ends following the discovery of oil on their Oklahoma land.

“It took a Martin Scorsese to come along, that sort of powerhouse, to tell the story properly, and how he approached the community and how he worked with all of us, we just felt included.” She hopes the film will inspire the younger Osage generations to tell their history — this chapter included. “My grandparents didn’t talk about it. They feared retaliation. I want my daughter’s generation to speak, tell our stories and be proud of who we are.
