Cinema Cindy Reviews: Killers Of The Flower Moon
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“Killers of the Flower Moon”, Martin Scorsese’s latest film, is now showing at SALA. This much anticipated movie version of David Grann’s 2017 book truly is gripping, and it features many familiar actors. It will no doubt be discussed until the awards ceremonies, early next year.
The film deftly handles a horrifying chapter of American history, one which took place in Osage County, Oklahoma, a century ago. Unlike the book, the movie dives right into the action. An Osage woman is mourned. An American soldier returns from war in Europe and lands on his uncle’s doorstep. Read More

School For Advanced Research To Repatriate 60 Archaeological Items To Mexico During Ceremony Oct. 19 In Albuquerque
SAR News:
ALBUQUERQUE — At a joint ceremony Oct. 19, the School for Advanced Research (SAR) will voluntarily repatriate 60 archaeological items of Mexican origin to the Consulate of Mexico in Albuquerque.
The 60 items came to SAR over a 31-year period, from 1941 to 1972. Some were burial related, while others fell outside of SAR’s Indian Arts Research Center’s (IARC) scope in the Native American Southwest. As a result, the items were deaccessioned and IARC staff researched available options for appropriately re-homing the items.
Rather than send the pieces to other U.S. institutions, it was Read More
