Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling and deeply personal account of the establishment and growth of a Protestant Episcopal mission to the Santee Sioux Indians in the mid-19th century. The author provides a detailed history of the mission, highlighting the challenges faced by the missionaries, including government corruption, hostility from other tribes, and the devastating effects of the 1862 Minnesota Uprising. The book explores the complex relationship between the Santee Sioux and the American government, tracing the impact of government policies and broken treaties on the tribe's well-being. The author also examines the process of cultural assimilation and the challenges of converting a people deeply rooted in traditional beliefs. The book's primary focus is on the role of religion in the Santee Sioux's lives, both as a source of comfort and a force for change. The author argues that the Church's mission to the Santee Sioux was not only a spiritual endeavor but also a critical component in their efforts to achieve greater autonomy and self-sufficiency. The book concludes with a hopeful message about the power of faith and the potential for lasting change, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
