"Lakotas, Black Robes, and Holy Women" makes available in English a
rare collection of eyewitness accounts by German Catholic
missionaries among the Lakotas in the late nineteenth century.
German missionaries played an important role in the early years of
the St. Francis mission on the Rosebud Reservation, and the Holy
Rosary mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation, both in South Dakota.
Although the accounts reflect the dominant perspective and attitude
of missionaries and white teachers in the period of assimilation
policy, they also offer firsthand accounts of the Lakotas in the
early reservation years by Jesuits who saw themselves as friends
and defenders of the Indians against a government policy they
considered inappropriate and harmful. During the watershed years of
1886-1900, the German missionaries witnessed and participated in
key events in the history of the American West, including the Ghost
Dance, the Wounded Knee massacre, the Drexel Mission fight, the
repression of Lakota rituals, and the growing importance of
Catholicism for many Lakotas. The volume also describes the role of
women in the mission and the process of converting and schooling
Lakotas.
