Having been forced out of their homelands in Kansas just a couple of decades prior, the discovery of oil on their territory in present-day Oklahoma in the early 1900s led to unprecedented economic and social opportunities for the tribe.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nThe newfound wealth also brought  in <a href=https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2020\/08\/13\/who-will-play-an-osage-woman-for-a-film.asp>outsiders who targeted the Osage people<\/a> for their land and their mineral rights.

With her nomination for Best Actress in Leading Role, she becomes the first Native person to land an acting nod at the Oscars.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nLeonardo DiCaprio portrayed Ernest Burkhart, who was Mollie&#8217;s husband.
