The grandchildren of some of the native peoples still recount the good and loving care given by Mother Katherine Drexel and her Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. At least where I live stories are told at honor dances and other gatherings.
In this area, as across the country, the government assigned various religious denominations to run schools. Fortunately, here the SBS were assigned. Most stories passed down tell of the good that the Sisters did and how they welcomed student's families for visits. A rare thing for many of these schools.
A sign of the people's care for Mother Katherine who visited the local native school is a pic of her wearing an honor blanket given by the people of the mission.
