Symbolic Meaning Of Osage Cultural Identity In The Film Killers Of The Flower Moon

---

This study employs Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic framework to analyze the representation of Osage cultural identity in Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). Focusing on Peirce's triad of icons (signs of resemblance), indices (signs of causation), and symbols (signs of convention), the research examines how the film's visual and narrative elements construct meaning. Key findings reveal that while the film meticulously recreates Osage material culture as icons (e.g., regalia, earth lodges), these signs often lack contextual depth, reducing them to aesthetic elements. Trauma indices (e.g., poison, owl omens) effectively convey historical violence but overshadow narratives of resilience. The study concludes that the film's most culturally authentic representations emerge in Osage-led moments (e.g., the untranslated Wahzhazhe finale), demonstrating how Indigenous narrative control activates symbolic meaning. These findings highlight the importance of pairing visual authenticity with Indigenous semiotic authority in cultural representation.
