Joel joins us on the show to share more about his article Killers of the Flower Moon is not the movie an Osage would have made. You should still see it, why he wrote it, how it went viral and the reaction since then. We discuss Scorsese’s recent film Killers of the Flower Moon, why it is great but isn’t telling the story from the point of the Osage Nation, and the effect of the Reign of Terror on the Osage Nation. He also shares his personal history as a member of the Osage Nation, tells the story of his family, and talks about problems confronting the Native American Nations.
It would take an Osage to tell the story from the Osage perspective.”’ - Joel Robinson
