when you study history you can gain a tremendous understanding of political and cultural influences that perpetuate oppression and racism, but one thing that i think a lot of historians lack, myself included, is the financial aspect that can not only cause but perpetuate those influences.

with the Killers of the Flower Moon film coming out i hope that it brings more attention to the history of the Osage Nation, both the historical exploitation by settlers but also the current, living issues that remain because of the reign of terror during the 1920s that the film focuses on. for those who are interested i heavily advise you to listen to the podcast In Trust which features many Osage voices, some of whom consulted on the upcoming film, and covers the financial oppression of the Osage people during the reign of terror and its legacy today, from conservatorships to megacorporations, and details on the efforts of the Osage Nation to move forward

haven’t posted in a while,, haii !! heres a little christmas aggie doodle ^^

thoughts on the ending of killers of the flower moon are that after all of that, it's about how it's remembered. for white americans, the events become entertainment. but for the osage, the reign of terror is a grief and loss that they refuse to forget. scorsese is simply just fantastic at what he does. 5 stars from me for a great film with a perfect ending.
