Well, I’m glad this happened if the land was not being used.
" On Tuesday, May 2, the Jesuit-run St. Francis Mission announced it will return more than 500 acres to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. The land is within the boundaries of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, and has been held by the St. Francis mission since the 1880s.
“It’s now time to give back to the tribe all of those pieces of land that were given to the church (by the federal government) for church purposes,” said Rev. John Hatcher, president of St. Francis Mission, in a YouTube video. “We will never again put churches on those little parcels of land.”
The Jesuits are members of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests founded in the 16th century to do missionary work. Since 1886, the Jesuits have lived among the Sicangu Lakota of the Rosebud Indian Reservation.
Generally, the history between the Jesuits and Native peoples of the Americas is one that is marred with colonial onslaughts on indigenous lands, culture and life ways. The Jesuits seek to change this course and, evidently, make amends with Native peoples."
