Scott George, a member of the Osage nation, has made history by becoming the first Native American to be nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar. His nomination is for the song 'Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)' from Martin Scorsese's film 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' This nomination is a significant milestone not only for George but also for all indigenous peoples of North America.
Initially hesitant to be involved in the project due to the sacred nature of their music, George and his community eventually collaborated with Scorsese after realizing the importance of their representation in the film. They composed original songs for the movie, highlighting their cultural heritage and traditions.
