Hight gets to be part of her people’s history in the present day
Junior Taylor Hight (pictured below right with actor Lily Gladstone) got a chance not many do – to be in a major Hollywood movie with an Oscar-winning director.
The film was Killers of the Flower Moon, a fictionalized story based on a 2017 nonfiction book of the same title by David Grann. Martin Scorsese directed.
The movie focuses on a white businessman, William Hale, played by Robert de Niro, who claimed to be “a true friend” to the Osage Nation, while orchestrating murders of Osage people in order to get their lucrative oil rights.
