An amazing and tragic piece of history with repercussions that are still being felt today. A total must listen. The movie and the book both had slightly different perspectives. This podcast shows how the Tribe is still being affected. What horrible things humans are capable of doing to each other.

I found this podcast to be jampacked with information and details about really important aspects of North American history, US government, and legal history-but it’s a lot to follow in a podcast. It may be the narrator’s journalistic tone or some other feature of the writing, but I found little...Read full review »

An extraordinarily researched and fascinating story. I found it painful to hear a very complicated tale of land, policy and its relation to generational wealth reduced, in large part, to the vilification of one family.

It is a hard story but a very important one to be told. I personally enjoyed the emphasis the podcast has on the economic dynamics of it all. I find adequate and respectful the deep interest that the team had in elucidating the archives available. Thank you for your work!

I enjoyed most of the episodes and appreciated the linked articles to additional information. I, personally, didn't care for the host.Read full review »

Rachel Adams-Heard and team have put together an amazing, moving and sometimes disturbing piece of journalism and story telling casting a bright light on a dark chapter in our shared history in the US. I stumbled across this by accident when researching more backstory on the Killers of the...Read full review »

This was very educational and had me riveted. Well researched and an important history to unearth. Unfortunately I too struggled with the vocal fry in the narration. It was hard to bear.

Interesting topic but the host’s vocal fry had me stopping before I could get through.
Montgomery J via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/23
When I say hard listen, it’s about the in your face honesty about history that is hard to hear. Worth every minute to listen to and learn from. Well done, Rachel. This was hard to digest but I feel you did it fairly and honestly.

You won’t think of yourself as a good guy white person after listening to this very good podcast. What America did in the name of Manifest Destiny is a dirty shame that hangs over all of us European American settlers. I’m ashamed of every one that took advantage of the Osage peoples…including my...Read full review »

This is a very good and informative podcast. The narrator’s voice was not a problem for me as I was paying attention to the content. What our country has done to indigenous peoples is horrible and this story is not singular in its focus. Happened a LOT and, to a degree, still does. My takeaway...Read full review »

This series had taught me more, about America’s relationship with indigenous Americans than all my years studying history. I’m disgusted by what I’m learning . I’m extremely disappointed & frustrated with how Americans present themselves. And I ashamed to be a part of this.
Samobx7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
This podcast was recommended to me by my daughter. So glad she did. This should be taught in school. Throughly researched, wonderfully presented. Can’t stop listening. Well done.
dshoe1987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Fascinating story but the host’s glottal fry at the end of each and every sentence gets very old, very fast. I’d rather read a transcript or a book version.

I read Killer of the Flower Moon and find this another dark chapter in our history. I am unsure if you are trying to educate or destroy a family.

I found the information presented fascinating, but couldn’t finish due to the narrator’s voice.

This was so good especially since I was born and raised in Oklahoma. I remember driving to Pawhuska for the first time about three years ago even though I was from Bartlesville which was only 30 minutes away. On my drive through Pawhuska I came upon this vast prairie that seemed to go for several...Read full review »

Getner Drummond actually says he is “manifestly interested” - Dog whistle? Freudian slip? “People of the Lie”. Great book about denial. And. I am so sick of hearing people call women's’ natural voices vocal fry. Get over it. Voices that have been silenced forever are apt to sound different...Read full review »

Great podcast and throughly researched. I agree with others. The vocal fry is so annoying.
Angriest Bird 2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
I’m really trying to get into this, it’s much needed and eye opening (not to mention infuriating, as - yet again - white men take what they haven’t earned and claim it for themselves). I have misophonia and vocal fry is one of the things I just cannot take (long before it was called “vocal fry”)....Read full review »

This is so well researched and presented. After reading Killers of the Flower Moon and anticipating the movie, this podcast adds so much more depth to this terrible event in American history. However the speakers use of vocal fry has been distracting and annoying in my opinion.
RC Wright via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
After reading then watching “Killers of the Flower Moon.” I stumbled upon this podcast that provides a deeper look into The Reign of Terror and how prominent families today may have profited from the corruption taking place in the 1920s. Although these stories are heartbreaking to hear, they are...Read full review »

I love the information that is presented on this podcast, I just can’t turn the volume up enough to overcome that vocal fry. You can’t understand some words, because the reader sounds terminally bored. A story that needs to be told, but so hard to listen to.
Female genius via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
I listen to a lot of podcasts. This one is exceptional. I like it bc of the tight story telling-there are few if any threads simply dropped. 2) the US history lesson that is told through individuals and the systems that so cavalierly robbed them 3) even handed with current relatives treated with...Read full review »

The content and research are very interesting, but please, Rachael Adams-Heard, get some speech therapy to lose the vocal fry!

Incredibly researched podcast! Feeling incredibly Outraged & saddened. Time for the deflecting to stop and those that benefited to make reparations.

Well researched. Eye opening. Excellent reporting. But please, Rachel Adams-Heard! Your vocal fry makes it sound like the topic bores you to death. That you can barely stay awake long enough to speak the next sentence.
cbnolou via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/23
This series is extremely well done. The research and interviews have been handled with care. The real question I am left with is why does the US government still hide behind this false and untrue narrative of “caring” for the Native Americans? Stand up, be transparent and work with the tribes to...Read full review »

This is incredible and worth your listen. But if you live in Oklahoma, it’s not just worth your time, but it is 100% necessary you stop and listen to this. We weren’t taught our real history in school, and history is actively trying to be erased for our children. It’s imperative we educate...Read full review »

Shockingly sad. A proud people cut low by governmental corruption. I thought they did a great job of telling the story unbiased. Government overreach and shady capitalists. I don’t think anyone would argue that the Indian tribes were here first and that they have been mercilessly exploited....Read full review »

Interesting, would have been more effective had it told the story of the settlers that were in the territory prior to the US assigning the land to the tribes and relocating them to what is now the state of Oklahoma. It is my understanding that there were homesteads, farms and ranches already...Read full review »

Enjoyed this story very much. The research and investigative journalism are excellent. White people stole the land and the money with power, it’s that simple. And yes, that includes the Drummonds. They didn’t become successful ranchers by luck and hard work. They were given a leg up at every turn...Read full review »

Great for the history but a pretty evident leftist slant in the journalism. Only really told one side of the story
Adam meier via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/23
I am Mvskoke. Much respect to the Osage tribe. Prayers going up that the younger generations continue to fight to right the wrongs. Mvto for all the hours of research to bring us the heartbreaking story of the Osage.

Vocal fry is off the charts. Couldn’t get through the first paragraph. It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
Butterscots26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
This podcast is so thoroughly researched and shows how vital it is to continue to support journalist doing this kind of work. I learned so much.
Greenmel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/23
A tour de force illustrating the systemic and violent theft of wealth from Osages by Whites who couldn’t bear sharing America’s vast wealth. A harsh reminder of the horrors that many oil fortunes are built on.
CalJerMel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/23
Both the good and the evil. This needs to be taught in every classroom. This is so tragic. And the Drummond s just keep getting more powerful.

I was so thankful to have learned of this podcast. I am very much into the REAL history of what happened to the indigenous people of this country.
