“The more that these stories can be told in a truthful way, the more it can be a healing process,” he added.
Talking about the true series of incidents against the Osage Nation tribe, Gladstone said: “It’s not that long ago that the Reign of Terror happened. I don’t want to label this a Western. I’m happy that it’s being labeled a tragedy.”
DiCaprio added, “It’s a completely forgotten part of American history and an open wound that still festers.”
