This dress was made for an Osage singer who wore it to perform “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) at the 2024 Academy Awards. Killers of the Flower Moon received 10 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song. The movie, based on the book by David Grann, describes how wealthy Osage citizens were murdered for their headrights to oil-rich land during the 1910s—1930s.
