In the film Lily Gladstone plays 'Mollie Kyle' who marries Leonardi DiCaprio's World War I veteran 'Ernest Burkhart' in this traditional style Osage wedding coat and hat.
Things do not end happily for the couple though, as years later when Mollie travels to Washington, D.C. with an Osage delegation to lobby the President for help in connection with her tribe's murders, a local crime boss who is her husband's uncle orders him to poison his wife to slow her down, which he does using her insulin for her diabetes.
Found near death by agents of the Bureau of Investigation, she recovers and ultimately leaves her husband after he turns states evidence and testifies against his uncle, but he refuses to admit he poisoned her.
