Whenever the Jesuit priest, Fr. DeSmet crossed the Great Plains, he would always try to stay in low areas to keep out of sight of the ever-watchful eyes of the Plains Indians. Most tribes were very mindful and protective of their land, and trespassers risked everything from the loss of goods and horses to even their lives.
