When Sinte Gleska (Spotted Tail), an Itancan, leader of the Sicangu, met with President Rutherford B. Hayes, he requested that the Jesuits or the Black Robes, come to educate the Sicangu.

Sinte Gleska´s request was not an idle one that suddenly came out of nowhere. The Sicangu leader was seriously considering the condition of his people. As a principal leader of the Sicangu, Sinte Gleska viewed the needs of the people from this position, and as a dignitary- representative of the Sicangu Nation to the Federal officials in Washington, the Sicangu leader understood how the administration functioned in dealing with the Lakota.

He understood that the Federal Government was embarking on the task of breaking the tribes and acculturating them when they had the opportunity. He felt that the Sicangu would not have a chance when the Federal Government was ready to impose a full scale program of acculturation. The answer to this was educating the Sicangu to learn from the Wasicu the simple tools of survival and not totally losing the Lakota culture. Thus at every opportunity, Sinte Gleska would press for the education of his people.
