Killers of the Flower Moon

Absolute must-read. So, white people force Osage to live in a region no one cares about. Turns out, said region has oil. The Osage get rich. The US government more or less forces them to get white guardians (cuz they can't manage their own money). Osage, a LOT of them, start dying at a much higher rate than the national average. The book focuses on the only criminal prosecution of some of these murders (the period between 1921 and 1926 where some of this happened became known as The Reign of Terror) by the nascent Bureau of Investigation. However, most deaths were never investigated because who cares about a bunch of dead Indians, and the entire white, local, leadership was corrupt. It is gripping and enraging. I had no idea about any of this before reading this book. IT deserves all the praises it received.
