The Osage Murders refer to a series of killings in the early 1920s targeting members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. The Osage people had become extremely wealthy due to oil discovered on their land, leading to jealousy and greed among non-Native individuals. As the murders escalated, the FBI became involved, investigating the crimes that were often covered up or ignored by local authorities. The case highlighted systemic racism and corruption, ultimately leading to the conviction of several individuals involved in the plot to kill Osage members for their wealth.
