Abstract
The article discusses the history of the Osage people in Fairfax, Oklahoma, and the atrocities they faced during the early 1900s. The Osage were forced from their Kansas reservation and moved to Indian Territory, where they bought a reservation area that turned out to be rich in oil. This newfound wealth led to tragedy, as non-Indians took advantage of the Osage through guardianship laws and even committed murders to inherit their wealth. The story is now being told through books and a movie, which aim to shed light on this dark chapter in history and promote healing and understanding. However, the article also highlights the lack of education about these events in Oklahoma schools and calls for greater awareness and inclusion of these stories in the curriculum.
