St. Mary's Mission (Kansas)
The St. Mary's Mission was a Jesuit mission founded in 1847 along the Oregon Trail. The city of St. Marys, Kansas was established around the mission. During the 19th and 20th centuries Native American children were often forced to attend Mission schools like St. Mary's. Potawatomi children were taken from their families in the 1860s and sent to St. Mary's Mission where they were left in the care of White Americans.
