This has been an enlightening but heartbreaking read. The atrocities done to the Osage and surrounding tribes during that era, before that era, and those that continue are unforgivable.
The events that happen in this book are a stark reminder of why the tribes do not trust the judicial system. The racism they experienced, and continue all line up with MMIW and the crisis of missing indigenous peoples globally.
