According to songwriter and Osage tribe member Scott George, “Wahzhazhe ” is meant for listeners to “stand up and celebrate that we have survived and gotten this far with the help of our Creator.” He told, “We’re still here,” and encapsulates what music means for the tribe. “Our songs make people come together to dance, feel good, even heal. I prayed this song would bring about healing. A worldwide audience is seeing what happened to the Osage, and I hope people will learn from it,” said George.
“By the end of the film we had to have some sense of the presence of the Osage. They survived and the music of the Osage is the best display of this extraordinary survival. I felt like we should end the film with the special piece of music created by the Osage.” Scorcese, Gladstone, and DiCaprio attended one of the In-Lon-Schka dances and were impressed by the music. The director wanted to take a modern Osage piece so that it could convey what is surviving now.
George described the hesitance to contribute. “A lot of people get invited to our dances to just look on and see what we do. But they are ceremonials, and we don’t like for them to be filmed, or recorded,” he“We were afraid our people would say, ‘We don’t want anybody to see that.’” With the help of executive producer Marianne Bower, George understood what Scorsese wanted and his intentions.
Martin Scorcese’s latest film is based on the book of the same name by David Grann. The book recounts the series of murders of the Osage Nation which William King Hale and his nephew Ernest Burkhart were the masterminds behind it. On why he decided to pursue a film adaptation of the Osage murders, Scorcese told, “What I responded to when I read David Grann’s book was the natural order of things.
