Trust and Betrayal in Osage Country
This exhibit has closed.
This exhibit focused on the murders of wealthy Osage people in the 1920s. Trust and Betrayal in Osage Country was displayed in the ONEOK, Inc. Gallery until March 1, 2024.
The crimes are detailed in David Grann’s 2017 book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. It’s estimated that two dozen members of the Osage Nation were murdered in the 1920s in a plot to get Osage wealth through murder. Most of the crimes were not investigated by local authorities.
