Moreover, the court awarded the Osage people rights to the profits made from the oil deposits found on their land.

Killers of the Flower Moon revolves around the Osage tribe’s murders from 1921 to 1925. The number of murders that took place was nearly sixty. The Osage tribe was viewed as the middlemen. Moreover, it did not sit well with other communities when the Osage people made huge profits from the oil deposits. Plans were made to eliminate the Osage inheritors by any means possible. This led to violence, and by 1925, at least sixty Osage tribe members were killed.
