Starting around 11:30 in film, are splendid candid close ups of Pawhuska business people and civic leaders. Anyone know more about these historical figures.

It's incredible how detailed scorsese is in his movie... It looks like an extension of killers of the flower moon...

Thank you for sharing this film. Such a beautiful people that loved spending time with their family and children. My favorite part is the beginning of this film. Seeing the rolling hills and green grass with the children playing in the red dirt creek. It reminds me of my childhood and spending time with my family in the 70’s. I live on the county line of Tulsa and Osage counties in Sand Springs. My great grandfather wore suits everyday just like in the film until the day he died in the 1980’s. The beginning of the film reminds me of one of our family reunions. It is kindness and love of family that I see in this film.

The Osage seem like a lovely people. What happened to them is heartbreaking

Love the little girl doing the Charleston at 4:01. It’s great to see these videos from such a long time ago. It’s only 40 something years before I was born but now it’s almost 100. To think, that even the little babies in this footage aren’t even around anymore. I saw Killers of the Flower Moon last night. It just so happens that I’m studying Native American culture in my Cultural Anthropology class as well. Such a sad story that these wonderful people were taken advantage of simply because of their heritage. I wonder what this town looks like now.

Thank you for posting this video. My mom was born in Ponca City OK in 1934. So seeing this video gave me a glimpse of where and how she grew up. Love you Mom!!❤

I read once, reading about automobiles that the Osage loved the Packard Twin Six automobile and if they would wreck one. They had enough money to purchase a brand new one. I can see several in this film. If you remember, Packards were premium cars at the time. On the same prestige level as Cadillac and Pierce-Arrow or Lincoln. I read that story as a child back in the 1970's. Packards were also known for their power and speed, which may have been a reason that they were sought out.

The man wearing the head scarf (at beginning, around 16 seconds in) is John Stink. My dad used to tell me the story of him when I was a kid. Google his name if you don't know about him.

Great footage. The fashion looks more like 1920s

I have lived along the Neosho river almost my entire life. 70 years.
A time machine would be nice.
