Y'all WHAT. How did I never hear about this??? (Which is rhetorical because obviously the essentially genocide of the Osage would of course not be covered in my white history classes.) I'll definitely be revisiting this book because a lot of the sentiment toward Native people still exist today and we need to be much more aware of the total destruction that racism can cause. God. If this was a novel, I would have a hard time believing it. It's that intricate and horrific.

Incredible, heart-breaking story of the greedy murders of the Osage people perpetrated by white settlers. I couldn’t put this book down. I’m sad, angry, and frustrated at the horrors that this country continues to cover up. Every American should read this and reckon with the trauma we inflicted on so many.
