The St. Mary's Mission school was opened in 1885 by the Episcopal Church, under the direction of Reverend W.J. Cleveland. It was originally built as a boarding school to accommodate between 50 and 60 Lakota students from the Rosebud Reservation and was located 12 miles northeast of the Rosebud Agency. The boarding school housed both boys and girls. Septima Koehler was appointed by Bishop William Hobart Hare around 1895 as a teacher at the school. There are four photographic prints in this series shot at St. Mary's depicting the school building and posed students in a classroom. These were likely part of a series, "St. Mary's Mission S.D" by an unknown photographer and have the numbers "48" to "50".

Leaf out of a newspaper describing a Rosebud Indian Land Sale held on December 5, 1929. This was found inside a Sioux Tobacco bag made sometime between 1880 and 1890. The bag has catalog number 26/5468 (265468) and can be found in NMAI's ethnographic collections. It was then used as inspiration for a lithographic print "Trust and Loss" by Dyani White Hawk Polk. The print is now in NMAI's modern and contemporary arts collection with catalog number 26/9784 (269784).
Provenance:
The tobacco bag was given to William J. Sheehan (Director of the Defense Department Office of Economic Adjustment) by McCarthy Nowlin (Deputy Directory of the Defense Department Office of Economic Adjustment) in the 1970s; given to NMAI by William J. Sheehan's wife, Kathleen Sheehan, in 2005, on behalf of William J. Sheehan, McCarthy Nowlin, and herself.
