Gallery: Conspiracy Of Terror: The Horrific True Story Of The Osage Nation Murders

If you learn anything from a "formal" education it's that history is told from a very particular perspective in America. That being the white perspective. We all know Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 but the rhyme fails to mention what happened in the centuries that followed; the absolute horror Native Americans went through once outsiders landed on their shores. History books phase out the major violence and in its place put the whitewashed highlights of California Missions and the first Thanksgiving like Europeans didn't almost wipe out an entire nation of people who settled there first. 

That's why many are just learning about the Osage murders. If anything, they are a highlighted box in the corner of textbooks, a blip on the radar as the chapter dives deeper into whatever a white man was doing at the time. In reality, the Osage murders were so bad that they were dubbed the "Reign of Terror." Now we're going to give them more than a minute box in a textbook that many teachers would graze over in their lesson plan.
