Being Native and being in Indigenous spaces, this case was familiar to me, though I didn't know the full story.
While I, like many others, would have liked an Osage to tell this story, I do not have an much of a problem with Grann telling the stories. Because Grann is a journalist and stuck to the facts and acknowledged not only in the acknowledgments who he was getting these stories from throughout the book. It is refreshing to hear someone not from our community accurately portray the prejudices Natives face in the court system. He asked "would any white man at the time convict another white man for killing an Indian?"
I highly recommend, especially if you are Indigenous and had to walk out of the movie due to the gore.

Be warned that there is a graphic bombing episode, medical content involving diabetes, covering up crime scenes, frequent poisoning, financial abuse, policies preventing First Nations from accessing their accounts, court scenes, and mention of “burning human flesh” from an electric chair.brimclala's review against another edition
