St. Francis Mission, Catholic mission complex in Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota.
The St. Francis Mission consists of 26 buildings, including St. Charles Borromeo Church and Drexel Hall, serving the Lakota Native Americans.
Founded in 1886 by Jesuit priests, the mission underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1916 destroyed many original structures.
The mission preserves Native American heritage through its museum collection of Lakota artifacts, historical documents, and language resources.
The complex maintains a free dental clinic serving 14,000 residents and operates educational programs in both English and Lakota languages.
The mission houses one of two existing replica statues of Kateri Tekakwitha, created by sculptor Joseph-Émile Brunet.
