In the early 20th century, an oil rush in the Osage Nation, located in Oklahoma, produced a torrent of oil revenues for the Native American tribe, making them the richest people per capita in the world. But their wealth invited greed, exploitation and murder on the part of white "guardians" who came to control the Osage's money, and would lead to the first major investigation by the FBI. In this "Sunday Morning" story originally broadcast April 30, 2017, correspondent Lee Cowan talks with David Grann, author of "Killers of the Flower Moon," about the reign of terror against the Osage.

As a member of the Osage tribe who's great grandmother was mentioned in the KOTFM book and whose uncle was in the film, I'm honored that he made this film. Sure it was long and may not be as remembered as Taxi Driver or Raging Bull, but my people needed their story told.

I am grateful to David Grann for telling this long-overdue story. I must admit that had it not been made into this motion picture masterpiece, I still would know nothing of the story. I commend film director Martin Scorsese for staying true in depicting an epic American tragedy. After seeing the film, I feel that it is greater than the two Scorsese works that you referenced. Peace and blessings to the Osage Nation, may the ancestors rest in eternal power.

I’m so sick of people lamenting what they were not taught in school. Grade school is supposed to give you a foundational education. College and other types of professional training are designed to train and indoctrinate people to be wage slaves. Besides that, surely one can’t learn everything in school. This is why it is important to strive to a life-long learner and seeker of understanding. With the internet we can learn almost anything with a little effort and initiative. Nobody is hiding anything. The information is in plain view and literally at people’s fingertips. I understand that sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know or even where to begin, but there are even ways to overcome this obstacle.

Those who preach American Exceptionalism don't want to talk about slavery, or mistreatment of native people, or the internment of Japanese-Americans during the war. Anything that besmirches the "shining beacon on the hill" imagery is to be banned. Ironically, owning up to the mistakes of the past would actually help America become the beacon of freedom it could be. Hiding it, covering it up, and rewriting history will only prevent the promise of the United States from being realized.

And I grew up in conservative Texas! Was I just unusual for...I dunno, reading? Did I just get lucky with my teachers?

If you had that as part of your curriculum, then that is wonderful, but it is the exception, not the rule. If you are struggling to understand how so many could have missed the opportunity to learn this part of US history, then I direct you to what Ron Desantis is currently doing in Florida. He is actively trying to bury the history of African Americans, not dissimilar to what has been done with Native American history.

Uh...I think it's incredibly condescending to call them "sweet". There were peaceful tribes, sure, but there were warlike ones too. Look up what the Mohawk and Huron did to the French missionaries who came there. Systematic sustained torture and mutilation of captured priests, not just execution. Look up the history of the Comanche: any success the Texan Spanish mission system had was because the smaller Karankawa tribe saw that their walls offered protection from the Comanche. They didn't just go after invading Europeans, they went after other tribes too. Were Native Americans done dirty by European immigrants? Heck yes. The Reservation system, broken treaties, occasional massacres, and trail of tears all bear witness to that. But it's a gross oversimplification, and an injustice to them, to just label them all "sweet nature lovers". There is a LOT more to the story than that. Just like any other group of human beings, they have a complicated story too.

Even before Miles Standish and the Puritans and Quakers there were the horrible misdeeds leveled at the Caribbean native “Indians” at the hands of Columbus over the course of his four voyages, which involved torture, annihilation, and enslavement. In school we were always taught that colonists attempted to make peace accords, promote trade and foster good will. Talk about sugar coating the truth…

Greed, yes. The powerful taking from the strong, yes. The fact that European descendant people were in the position of political power, yep. I really hate the term "white privilege" because it makes it sound like the rotteness in men's hearts, the crappy bits of us, are just in people of a certain race. They're not. We're all broken inside, to some extent. We're all capable of evil when we see something we want that belongs to someone else. I live in an area that tends to hurl a lot of racist crap towards blacks-- but is demographically primarily Latino. Whites make up about .5% of my hometown. How on earth does the concept of "white privilege" and needing to refute it help anyone where I'm from?

@@jordansjulthis where all the "fair minded people" miss the forest for the trees, you can't simply negate race/class/gender from the discussion. Without the whole consideration of all the factors that led to the execution of the greedy corrupt plot afterall, you do not have an historical parallel of this type of action being perpetrated on white citizens to this scale or over that period. These were murders committed against very affluent aboriginal persons whom the vast majority of Americans at that time considered inferior/ subhuman, thus divorcing them from any incentive to actually care about their rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Without that proper context it's hard to understand the motivation for the despicable deeds and apathetic response by law enforcement and legislative agents.
