"This week, director Martin Scorsese releases his film Killers of the Flower
Moon
: the true story of the mass murder of Osage Native Americans and the plot
to steal the tribe’s oil wealth. The film is a powerful telling of what came to
be known as the Reign of Terror, a period that resulted in the deaths of as
many as 200 Osage. But the story didn’t end there. For the past 27 years, I
have been reporting on what happened afterwards. My documentary Long Knife –
produced by George DiCaprio, with his son Leonardo’s encouragement – recounts,
in the words of the Osage people, what happened in the century since the
killings portrayed in the film, from the Terror to oil thievery to today’s
fight for sovereignty."
