00:00 Welcome back to the Osage.
00:02 You're always welcome, as you know,
00:04 and it's so good to see you again.
00:06 You too. You too.
00:07 You know, this is such a complex story.
00:13 You have the history of the Osage.
00:15 You have us striking on.
00:17 That led to the Reign of Terror, they called it.
00:20 We are real sensitive to the history,
00:23 but you've got to tell the story.
00:25 If it didn't upset people, there's something wrong with it.
00:30 When this money started coming,
00:32 we should have known it came with something else.
00:34 When I asked you, "What is your approach?"
00:38 You said, "I want to tell a story about betrayal of trust
00:44 between the Osage people and the outside world."
00:48 By focusing on Ernest and Molly,
00:51 it's like an analogy of the overall situation.
00:54 I don't even know if you love me anymore.
00:58 I am right here.
01:00 I was concerned about someone else telling our story,
01:04 but when you came on board,
01:07 you said, "We're going to film here.
01:10 You're going to use our language department.
01:13 You're going to work with our people who do costumes."
01:17 There's no way I would have made it
01:20 without the full support of the Osage community.
01:23 Everybody was here.
01:24 Where else can you shoot? Look at this place.
01:26 It's perfect.
01:28 We have a different culture,
01:30 and you portrayed that so well, so accurately.
01:34 I always think that America needs your culture.
01:37 More than just learning,
01:38 we could open our minds and our hearts to a whole new way.
01:41 Like buzzards circling our people,
01:45 we're still warriors.
01:47 We're honored to tell this powerful, historical story
01:50 in the most authentic way.
01:52 You sure did that.
01:54 I don't know how you do it, but you sure did it.
01:56 (upbeat music)
