TIOSPA ZINA TRIBAL SCHOOL HOLDS ANNUAL NATIVE AMERICAN CAREERS DAY -- Here is a scene from the 2001 Native American Careers Day held last Friday at Dakota Connection, Sisseton. Dr. Cecelia Kitto, M.D., encourages these students to pursue higher education and to consider a professional medical career. For photo highlights of activities, see pages four and five inside this edition of the Sota. Sota guest editorial— The “Forgiveness Program” by Fr. Stan Maudlin, OSB (Editor’s note: The following special feature is provided to Sota readers by Fr. Stanislaus Maudlin, OSB, of Blue Cloud Abbey, Marvin, S.D. It provides insight into the mission of the Benedictine monks who came to Dakota Territory and how that mission has changed, adapting to today’s challenges in “Indian country.”) We Benedictine Monastics came to Dakota Territory in 1876. When Benedictines are planted at a place, we become part of the soil and part of the people. We become part of the environment. Benedictines are that way. That way of ours, or that quality in us, is called Stability. Monastics are identified by “place”. None of us as individuals need to be known. It’s important, though, that Blue Cloud Abbey be known and the Mother of God Monastery of our Sisters. In the past few years the news has been breaking heavily over us. In all the world there is a flood of spiritual and mental depression. No one is exempt, whether they be in sports, in business, or in religion. All have been hurt by a society that is more and more godless, more and more secular and vengeful. Anger has grown. Hope has gone. Violence is the answer. The ones who suffer most are the youth. They do not know how to weather the storms. Their escape is suicide. And we watch. Their fathers were our partners in building the Church in the Dakotas. Their mothers made us welcome. The youth are, in a way, us.
