(Chamberlain, S.D.) – On a cloudy May afternoon, the 17 seventh-grade students of St. Joseph’s Indian School—a member of the American Indian Catholic Schools Network— huddled in prayer before embarking on the trip that has become a spiritual and cultural rite of passage for the school’s students. The journey, which has undergone some changes during the pandemic year, is unchanged in its tradition of forming these students into the school’s leaders when school opens next fall.
