Lakota Catholic Spirituality: An Immersive Experience

1 credits

An immersive pastoral experience at Holy Rosary Mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation, a Jesuit apostolate serving the Oglala Lakota. Through conversation circles, listening sessions, site visits and spiritual reflection, students will engage directly with Lakota Catholic and Jesuit leaders and community members to explore the dynamic integration of Lakota spirituality and the Catholic tradition. Special attention will be given to the legacy of Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950), whose life exemplifies the intersection of Indigenous tradition and Christian discipleship.
