Killers of the Flower Moon

 


Rosana Delon's English students are reading Killers of the Flower Moon, by David Grann.

It is the true story of how a white businessman and self-proclaimed "true friend" of the Osage Nation orchestrated the brutal murders of numerous members of the tribe in early 1920s Oklahoma.

Rosana's students have been doing a lot of research on the background of the book, and you can read the results of their work on Students' Corner. 

If you would like to know more about this tragic event, here are some links you can visit:

PBS News Hour 

And you could also go to see the film!
