PAWHUSKA The photographs are faded shades of sepia and gray, and the newspapers that chronicled the tragedies and trials are yellowed and embrittled.
But for members of the Osage Nation especially those still deeply rooted in Osage County the history of the 1920s Reign of Terror remains as fresh as the under-construction wooden facades and newly painted storefronts created for the making of Oscar winner Martin Scorsese s fact-based film Killers of the Flower Moon. I grew up in Fairfax. Margie Burkhart, the granddaughter of Mollie Burkhart, was my best friend. So, we always grew up knowing that story. We knew the traumas of what happened to her family and to other Osages. But most of the world does not, said Danette Daniels, an Osage businesswoman who still lives in Fairfax and owns the Water Bird Gallery in downtown Pawhuska, just a block away from where much of the filming is underway.
