Notes: In December 1886, the Sisters of Mercy received a government contract to educate 12 children from the Sisseton and Rosebud Reservations in South Dakota. Later, children from the Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota also attended the school. In 1896, the government canceled the school’s contract, forcing the school to close. The buildings were sold to the federal government who used the property for the Morris Indian School, which closed in 1909.
