"Controversy Surrounding 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Film"

Members of the Osage Nation, whose history is depicted in the film "Killers of the Flower Moon," have expressed their reactions to the movie. The Osage community was involved in the production process, with over 44 roles filled by Osage actors and the employment of Osage artisans. While some appreciated the attention to detail and the opportunity to tell their story, others had mixed responses to the film's focus on the character of Ernest Burkhart rather than Mollie Burkhart, whose family was targeted in the Osage murders. Overall, the Osage community hopes that the film will inspire younger generations to tell their own history and be proud of their heritage.
