On Sunday, March 10, 2024, I had the pleasure of watching
Osage member Scott George and the Osage Singers sing “Wahzhazhe: A Song for My
People,” at the Oscars. George is a regular performer at Natchez Powwow. He
composed the song, “Wahzhazhe,” which is featured in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers
of the Flower Moon.” In the film, it is performed in the closing dance scene by
Osage tribal singers.
George’s song was nominated for Best Original Song. Unfortunately, the song did not win, but George and the Osage Singers gave a great performance at the Oscars, which I found to be powerful and deeply moving. I loved the standing ovation they received.
Now I can’t wait to see George when he returns to Mississippi for a performance at Natchez Powwow. I am so happy for him and the Osage Singers.
