I am an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux tribe based on the Rosebud Sioux
Indian reservation in South Dakota.
The community that we later created and settled was called Hihan Sum Wapaha. However, when
the U.S. government brought in the Jesuits in an unsuccessful attempt to destroy us, the first
thing that was done, as a part of this genocide, was -- at the point of guns -- to impose
christianity upon the Hihan Sum Wapaha and the name of our community was changed to
"Saint Francis", too. In the spirit of keeping alive the struggle against the genocidal campaign still waged against us, I would like to encourage the members of my clan to take back the name of our community. |
