Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z But this time the Osage viewed it as a threat to their underground reservation. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One Osage who had served in World War I complained, “I fought in France for this country, and yet I am not allowed even to sign my own checks.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Great Depression had wiped out many Osage fortunes that had already been diminished by guardians and thieves. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z A gentleman in Osage County had once approached Agent Burger and introduced himself as an intermediary, a go-between, for Pike. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Agent Wren made his own inroads, attending tribal gatherings and gleaning information from Osage who might not otherwise talk to a white lawman. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z And the person who seemed most intent on framing Bunch was the King of the Osage Hills. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Such pleas, inevitably, were ignored, and members of Congress would gather in wood-paneled committee rooms and spend hours examining in minute detail the Osage’s expenditures, as if the country’s security were at stake. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z “Some day this oil will go and there will be no more fat checks every few months from the Great White Father,” a chief of the Osage said in 1928. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z But the Osage Nation was in the way of the economic drive of the European world...and life as they once knew it would never be the same.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Still, Mollie Burkhart and many others considered him Osage County’s greatest benefactor. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Eventually, he hoarded and borrowed enough money to buy his own herd in Osage territory. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z U.S. policy toward the tribes shifted from containment to forced assimilation, and officials increasingly tried to turn the Osage into churchgoing, English-speaking, fully clothed tillers of the soil. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Journalists told stories, often wildly embroidered, of Osage who discarded grand pianos on their lawns or replaced old cars with new ones after getting a flat tire. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z As the first sunlight burned through the thin, blue mist and radiated off the blades, a prayer leader said that the Osage were a “humble people, asking for your help.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Given Comstock’s numerous contacts among the Osage, the private eyes now took him up on his offer to help. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage Tribal Council was the only governing body to publicly single out and praise White and his team, including the undercover operatives. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z And while the suspicious life-insurance policy seemed to tie Hale to Roan’s murder, it did not provide a motive for the other Osage killings. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage have found new sources of revenue, including from seven casinos that have been built on their territory. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z As I went down the list, I noticed that a third Osage Indian had died under Mathis’s guardianship, and so had a fourth, and a fifth, and a sixth. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z He had taken a strong interest in Indian affairs in Oklahoma, and he was trusted by the Osage; a reporter described him as a “kind-hearted, white-haired man.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z That summer, the team of operatives hired by Mathis began to infiltrate Osage County. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Some of Vaughan’s children, including Martha’s father, went to live with Osage families, where they grew up speaking Osage and learning the traditional dances. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Over the next two decades, the Osage were forced to cede nearly a hundred million acres of their ancestral land, ultimately finding refuge in a 50-by-125-mile area in southeastern Kansas. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z They generate tens of millions of dollars for the Osage, helping to fund their government, educational programs, and health-care benefits. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Jefferson informed his secretary of the navy that the Osage were a great nation and that “we must stand well, because in their quarter we are miserably weak.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Over several weekends each June, the Osage hold their ceremonial dances, I'n-Lon-Schka. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage found themselves surrounded by predators—“a flock of buzzards,” as one member of the tribe complained at a council meeting. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Kelsie Morrison had earlier told agents that Hale was certain that “money will buy the protection or acquittal of any man for any crime in Osage County.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z They didn’t know much about Lawson, other than that he was from Osage County and that he had had several brushes with the law. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Comstock, the Oklahoma lawyer who had served as the guardian to several Osage, had personally briefed Senator Curtis on the bureau’s catastrophic bungling. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage had removed his image, not to forget the murders, as most Americans had, but because they cannot forget. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Venal local officials sought to devour the Osage’s fortunes. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage were also able to retrieve at least a portion of the oil funds mismanaged over decades by the U.S. government. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Hoover needed White—one of his few experienced agents, one of the Cowboys—to resolve the case of the Osage murders and thereby protect Hoover’s job. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z To obtain that oil, prospectors had to pay the Osage for leases and royalties. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z It had to do with the murders of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Amid the sensationalism, the Osage were focused on making sure that Hale and his conspirators did not find a way to wriggle free, as many feared they would. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage were outraged, and there were murmurings about taking justice into their own hands. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Perhaps they discounted her because of prejudice—because she was an Osage and a woman. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z There were fewer and fewer Osage who knew the old prayers for the dead. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z But, even though the movie was popular, the Osage case was fading from memory, eclipsed by more recent celebrated cases. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z To the shock of even his fellow Osage, he was naked, except for his breechcloth and his moccasins, and his face was painted as if he were leading a war party. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Was it just a coincidence that both victims had been wealthy Osage Indians, in their thirties? Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One after the other, the strangers slipped into Osage County. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The unoccupied area that the Osage were eyeing was bigger than Delaware, but most whites regarded the land as “broken, rocky, sterile, and utterly unfit for cultivation,” as one Indian Affairs agent put it. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z On July 10, 2015, at dawn, a chief and two dozen members of the Osage Nation gathered beneath the windmills for a prayer to Wah’Kon-Tah. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Many Osage had given up their traditional beliefs, but Lizzie had held on to them. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z And William Hale, who campaigned for stamping out the criminal element from Osage County, promised his own reward to anyone who caught the killers, dead or alive. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In yet another case, the 1926 death of an Osage named Eves Tall Chief, the cause was attributed to alcohol. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Like others on the Osage tribal roll, Mollie and her family members each received a headright—essentially, a share in the tribe’s mineral trust. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Under the policy, the Osage reservation would be divvied up into 160-acre parcels, into real estate, with each tribal member receiving one allotment, while the rest of the territory would be opened to settlers. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Although the Osage still went on buffalo hunts, they were chasing not only food but the past. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One of the first episodes was based on the murders of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z She arranged the details of her past the way she tidied up her house, and she had never told Ernest, her instinctively jealous second husband, about her Osage wedding with Roan. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Certainly during the Roaring Twenties, a time marked by what F. Scott Fitzgerald called “the greatest, gaudiest spree in history,” the Osage were not alone in their profligacy. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One historian dubbed it the “Osage Monte Carlo.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One of Hale’s lawyers asked him if he’d ever spoken to Hale about the murder of Roan or any other Osage Indian. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z An opening statement read, “In early missionary journals Osages were often described as being ‘the happiest people in the world.’...They had a sense of freedom because they didn’t own anything and nothing owned them. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z After the terms of the Allotment Act were agreed upon, in 1906, Palmer boasted to Congress, “I wrote that Osage agreement out in longhand.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Though Grammer and Hale generally moved in different circles, White established that they’d known each other for years, from the time when Hale had first appeared in Osage territory, at the turn of the century. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Bigheart, who had died not long after the imposition of allotment, was hailed as the “Osage Moses.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z For Hoover, the Osage murder investigation became a showcase for the modern bureau. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z And as I dug deeper into the Osage murder cases—into the murk of autopsies and witness testimony and probate records—I began to see certain holes in the bureau’s investigation. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Garrick Bailey, a leading anthropologist on Osage culture, said to me, “If Hale had told what he knew, a high percentage of the county’s leading citizens would have been in prison.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z And they were taught formal rules of evidence gathering, in order to avoid cases being dropped or stalled, as had happened with the first Osage investigation. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Burkhart’s testimony finally made public what the Osage had long known: members of the tribe had been systematically killed with intentionally contaminated alcohol. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The man, who was armed with a .44-caliber, snub-nosed English Bulldog, was named A. W. Comstock, and he was a local attorney and the guardian of several Osage Indians. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Blackie was still hostile, sullen, mean, but when White asked him about Hale and Burkhart’s role in the murders of the Osage, his mood seemed to change. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In the 1880s, John Florer, a Kansas frontiersman who referred to Osage territory as “God’s country,” established the first trading post in Gray Horse. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z A growing number of white Americans expressed alarm over the Osage’s wealth—outrage that was stoked by the press. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z “You must go out there and see what is happening,” Kathryn Red Corn told me when I visited the Osage Nation again, in June 2015. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z A young Osage man then typically wore fringed buckskin leggings and moccasins and a breechcloth; a finger-woven belt held his tobacco pouch and tomahawk. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z I knew that Burt had been a close associate of Hale’s who had been enmeshed in the systematic exploitation of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z After taking over the Oklahoma City field office in July 1925, White reviewed the bureau’s voluminous files on the Osage murders, which had been amassed over the previous two years. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In 1923, after the Smith bombing, the Osage tribe began to urge the federal government to send investigators who, unlike the sheriff or Davis, had no ties to the county or to state officials. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The town marshal also indicated that during the bureau’s investigation into the Osage murders, in 1925, Burt was so scared that he considered fleeing. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z “The stage is set: the curtain rises slowly on the great tragedy of the Osage—the long-awaited federal trial of two old-time cowboys,” the Tulsa Tribune reported. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z While No. 46 was working on Brown, another operative, No. 28, learned a seemingly vital secret from a young Kaw Indian woman who lived near the western border of Osage County. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z To accommodate the dances, the Osage had erected, amid the encroaching wilderness, a pavilion, with a mushroom-shaped metal roof and a circular earth floor surrounded by concentric rows of wooden benches. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z An oil producer told a reporter, “For the first time in a hundred years, there’s no drilling in Osage County.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z According to the log, he had been the guardian of nine Osage, including Anna Brown and her mother, Lizzie. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The corpse was mummified by the cold, and this time the lawmen had no trouble identifying the victim: Henry Roan, a forty-year-old Osage Indian who was married with two children. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z An Osage man in his seventies with expressive gray eyebrows and a deliberate manner, he served as the chief trial court judge. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Because the Osage had purchased their land, it was harder for the government to impose its policy of allotment. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The barons came for the auction of Osage leases, an event that was held about four times a year and that was overseen by the Department of the Interior. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z They contained something that I’d never seen anywhere before: the secret testimony of the grand jury that in 1926 investigated the murders of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The first was the suspected poisoning of George Bigheart, the Osage Indian who, before dying, had passed on information to Vaughan. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Merchants demanded that the Osage pay “special”—that is, inflated—prices. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage chief stated that his people “had no choice, they must either sign the treaty or be declared enemies of the United States.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z At a preliminary hearing, on March 12, Osage men and women, many of them relatives of the victims, crammed into the courtroom to bear witness. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z It showed the Osage from the time they roamed the plains to their first encounter with European explorers and missionaries, and to the black-gold rush. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Yet so many of the murders of the Osage were so well concealed that such an outcome is no longer possible. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage, meanwhile, had taken their own steps to protect themselves against future plots, persuading Congress to pass a new law. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In 1870, the Osage—expelled from their lodges, their graves plundered—agreed to sell their Kansas lands to settlers for $1.25 an acre. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z These cases underscored that the murders of the Osage for their headrights were not the result of a single conspiracy orchestrated by Hale. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Leahy, the prosecutor who had been hired by the Osage Tribal Council, considered all this to be the most “high-handed and unusual course of conduct I had ever witnessed on the part of attorneys.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The official death toll of the Osage Reign of Terror had climbed to at least twenty-four members of the tribe. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z “There is a great deal of humanity about these Osages,” he said. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Many Osage, unlike other wealthy Americans, could not spend their money as they pleased because of the federally imposed system of financial guardians. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Once the team had been assembled, White grabbed his gun and set out for Osage County—another traveler in the mist. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Given that corruption seemed to permeate every institution in Osage County, these sources might be intentionally spreading disinformation in order to conceal the real plot. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z A few congressmen and witnesses tried to mitigate the scapegoating of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The feds cut a deal with Morrison: in return for getting his arrest warrant for assault quashed, he would work as an informant on the Osage murder cases. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In the old days, an Osage clan, which included a group known as the Travelers in the Mist, would take the lead whenever the tribe was undergoing sudden changes or venturing into unfamiliar realms. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Many Osage had come to believe that local authorities were colluding with the killers and that only an outside force like Davis could cut through the corruption and solve the growing number of cases. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Burt employed bizarre accounting methods in order to conceal his fleecing of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The federal government, representing the Osage Nation, had filed a lawsuit against Enel, the Italian energy conglomerate that owned the wind farm. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Though the bureau estimated that there were twenty-four Osage murders, the real number was undoubtedly higher. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The Osage had been forced to finance part of the federal investigation with their own money—an amount that would eventually reach $20,000, the equivalent today of nearly $300,000. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In 1926, the Osage leader Bacon Rind remarked, “There are men amongst the whites, honest men, but they are mighty scarce.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z In a later incident, in Osage County, a man came into a hospital bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound, moaning, “I’m going to die, I’m going to die.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Reporters tantalized their readers with stories about the “plutocratic Osage” and the “red millionaires,” with their brick-and-terra-cotta mansions and chandeliers, with their diamond rings and fur coats and chauffeured cars. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z As a full-blooded Osage, Mollie was among those whose funds were restricted, though at least her husband, Ernest, was her guardian. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z So the Osage bought the territory for seventy cents per acre and, in the early 1870s, began their exodus. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z I knew, from government records, that Burt had also been the guardian of several other Osage, including one who had died. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Then Vaughan telephoned the new Osage County sheriff to say that he had all the information he needed and that he was rushing back on the first train. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z So while Osage boys at other institutions learned farming and carpentry, Mollie was trained in the “domestic arts”: sewing, baking, laundering, and housekeeping. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Even without the braids—even entombed in the car—his long, handsome face and tall, lean body evoked those of an Osage warrior. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z When an Osage chief was asked why he didn’t adopt the white man’s ways, he replied, “I am perfectly content with my condition. The forests and rivers supply all the calls of nature in plenty.” Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma that dealt with the murders of the Osage. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z During one of my last visits to the reservation, in June 2015, I went to the Osage Nation Court, where, in many criminal cases, the Osage now mete out their own justice. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z White and the prosecutors had no choice but to initiate the state case in Pawhuska, the Osage County seat and a Hale stronghold. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Some of the previous agents on the case, including Burger, had betrayed the kind of casual prejudice toward the Osage that was then commonplace. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z Unscrupulous accountants and lawyers tried to exploit full-blooded Osage’s ill-defined legal status. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z He presided over all the Osage sales, and his moniker, Colonel, made him sound like a veteran of World War I. In fact, it was part of his christened name: Colonel Ellsworth E. Walters. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z A newsreel about the murders, titled “The Tragedy of the Osage Hills,” was shown at cinemas. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z The files on the murders of the Osage contained history in its rawest form: bits of data vacuumed up without any chronology or narrative, like a novel whose pages were out of order. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z One government study estimated that before 1925 guardians had pilfered at least $8 million directly from the restricted accounts of their Osage wards. Killers of the Flower Moon 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z But, as one of the most buzzed about films going into Toronto, "August: Osage County" garnered some positive early reviews.
