Career
In 1881, she traveled to the Dakota Territory where she worked as a principle of the Indian agency parochial school on Standing Rock Indian Reservation.[4] It was there, in 1883, she met Sitting Bull who knocked on her door during a snow storm looking for shelter. This meeting began a long friendship which resulted in Mother Gertrude traveling to Sitting Bull’s headquarters where she encouraged him to surrender before the coming conflict with the U.S. military. This is a basic edit. Mother Gertrude is said to have been the last white person to see Sitting Bull before he was killed in battle in 1890.[3][1] One year later, she left the reservation and traveled to Elkton, South Dakota where, with two other sisters, she founded St. Gertrude’s Academy. She served as the superior for St. Gertrude’s which functioned as a convent, a school, an orphanage and a hospital until it burned down in 1894.[1][3][5]
