Today, the Osage Nation continues to work towards justice and healing. In 2019, the tribe established a memorial to honor the victims of the murders, and there are ongoing efforts to preserve the history and culture of the Osage people.

One of the most notorious guardians was a man named William Hale, who was appointed guardian for several Osage people, including a woman named Minnie Pryor. Hale used his position to steal thousands of dollars from Pryor and other Osage people, and he was eventually convicted of embezzlement.

The Osage Nation’s wealth was staggering, with estimates suggesting that each member of the tribe was earning around \(300 per year, which is equivalent to around \) 7,000 today. However, this wealth also brought a new set of problems, as the Osage people became targets of greed and corruption.

To manage the Osage people’s wealth, the US government established a guardianship system, which allowed white guardians to be appointed to manage the financial affairs of individual Osage people. However, this system was quickly abused, with many guardians taking advantage of their position to steal from the Osage people.

The story of the Killers of the Flower Moon is a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their race or ethnicity. It is a story that serves as a warning about the dangers of greed, corruption, and violence, and it is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Osage people.
