Dakota Cross-Bearer

"Dakota Cross-Bearer is the story of a remarkable man, Harold S. Jones, a Dakota Indian who rose through the ranks of the Episcopal Church to become the first Native American bishop of a Christian church.". "Jones's biography sheds light on the importance of Christianity for the Dakotas and other Native American peoples during the twentieth century. His story yields interesting insights into the history of twentieth-century missionary activity among Native Americans and illuminates instances of conflict and discrimination within the Episcopal Church, the processes of clerical training and testing, and the demands of constant relocation."--BOOK JACKET.
