Unravel the Mystery: Osage Nation's Past and the American Bison

Explore the captivating world of Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann, as we venture on an amazing adventure to Osage Nation. Discover how murders unfolded after oil was discovered on Osage-owned land, leading to an investigation by the newly-formed FBI. Excitement awaits as the movie adaptation by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, nears its release on October 6. Our first stop is the Reign of Terror Exhibit at the Tall Chief Theatre in Fairfax, OK, where we'll have a personal guide show us filming locations and the movie's impact on the local economy. Lunch, featuring a slide show of original pictures of key figures like Mollie Burkhart and Texas Ranger Tom White, will be provided. The journey continues to the Osage County Historical Society Museum and the Osage Nation Museum in Pawhuska, delving into the rich history of Osage Nation and the oldest tribal museum in the United States. Prepare for a unique agritourism experience at the Old West Buffalo Company, where you'll hand-feed bison from a covered deck and learn about their epic tale. Finish the day with a one-of-a-kind dinner theatre show starring Oklahoma Mike and Bill Taylor, transporting us to the late 1800's, a time when buffalo faced extinction, and ordinary people bravely stepped up to save these majestic creatures. A lavish barbecue meal in the elegant Old West Theatre will add the perfect finale to this unforgettable experience. Join us as we journey through history, mystery and the splendor of Osage Nation.
