Description

Dakota Cross-Bearer is the tale of Harold S. Jones, a Dakota Indian born in 1909 and raised at the Santee Reservation in Nebraska, who rose in the course of the ranks of the Episcopal Church to change into the primary Native bishop of a Christian church. Jones’s biography sheds light at the importance of Christianity for the Dakotas and other Native peoples throughout the 20 th century. His story yields insights into the history of twentieth-century missionary activity among Native communities and illuminates instances of conflict and discrimination inside the Episcopal Church, the processes of clerical training and checking out, and the demands of continuing relocation.
