Jacobs noted she was particularly perturbed by the effusive reaction to the film online. "And to top it off; to see the way that film nerds are celebrating and eating this shit up? It makes my stomach hurt," she wrote. "I can't believe it needs to be said, but Indig ppl exist beyond our grief, trauma & atrocities. Our pride for being Native, our languages, cultures, joy & love are way more interesting & humanizing than showing the horrors white men inflicted on us.
She concluded by making a call for more indigenous people behind the camera, stating that it would have made a meaningful difference in the way the events of the film are portrayed. "For the Osage communities involved in creating this film; I can imagine how cathartic it is to have these stories and histories finally acknowledged, especially on such a prestigious platform like this film. There was beautiful work done by so many Wazhazhe on this film.
