Summary
Located in Sidney, the original one-story frame and stone building was constructed in 1886-87. It is one of a few remaining physical representations in the state that is closely associated with the government's attempt to integrate Native Americans into the army and consequentially adopt Euro-American social mores. The church was used by, among others, Company I, Twenty-First Infantry, which was composed of Native Americans and commanded by a white officer. The church represents one of the institutions associated with Native American policy of the time and is significantly associated with Company I at Fort Sidney.
