Proposed deletion of Joseph A. Suneg

The article Joseph A. Suneg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence that Suneg's tenure was significant. No indication of notability of Suneg. The article even spends a lot of time talking about an Omaha parish, not him.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — C.Fred ( talk) 00:37, 30 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Paul I. Manhart

File:2008 Fr Paul I Manhart SJ 1.jpg
Fr. Paul I. Manhart (photo for 50th anniversary of ordination)

Paul Ignatius Manhart (2 January 1927 – 1 May 2008) was ordained a Jesuit priest of the Catholic Church and served in various capacities on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rapid City. His entire priestly career was dedicated to ministering among the Oglala Native Americans. Fr. Manhart’s scholarly work in linguistics helped preserve and disseminate the living, native North American Lakota language. He was a firsthand witness and participant in the Wounded Knee incident of 1973.

Early Life

Paul I. Manhart was born in Omaha, Nebraska, 2 January 1927, the third of twelve children of Paul Ignatius Manhart Sr. and Catherine Eleanor Steinauer Manhart. He attended Creighton Preparatory High School from 1941 to 1945. On his 18th birthday 2 January 1945 he entered the Society of Jesus at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant, Missouri. He earned an A.B. ( artium baccalaureus) in English and Latin from St. Louis University. In 1952 while still in Jesuit formation, Paul I. Manhart was assigned to teach at Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. In 1955 he moved to St. Mary's College where he was ordained a Catholic priest 18 June 1958.

Published Works

Beginning in 1902, shortly after arriving in the United States from Germany, Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J. taught Lakota boys English at the St. Francis Mission school on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. By the time of his death in 1954, Buechel had collected and translated over 28,000 Lakota words, intended to be aggregated into a dictionary. He preserved hundreds of oral histories, cultural objects, and interpretive information that is displayed at the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum, St. Francis, South Dakota.

Starting in 1955, at the request of Fr. John F. Bryde, principal of Holy Rosary Mission school, Fr. Manhart continued Buechal’s work by compiling, preparing and publishing in 1970 the first edition of Buechel’s Lakota Dictionary. Fr. George P Casey composed a brief version of Buechel’s A Grammar of Lakota so that it could be included in the dictionary. Five thousand case-bound books were printed, and in 1980, a second print-run of two thousand copies were produced. Buechel's collected Lakota terms were accompanied by their English definitions, pronunciations, parts of speech, examples of usage, and their sources. [1]

Around the time of the Wounded Knee incident of 1973, Fr. Manhart had borrowed Buechel's original manuscript of Lakota Tales and Texts from the Holy Rosary Mission archives with the intention to publish. As a result of the violent occupation, he and two local men, Benjamin White Butterfly and Ruben Mesteth found their office in shambles and the library shelves stripped of all its books—except the Tales and Texts manuscript. The original Lakota manuscript was rescued from destruction and in June of 1978, Fr. Manhart published Lakota Tales and Texts. It wasn't until 1993 that Fr. John Paul, superior of Holy Rosary Mission, asked Fr. Manhart (by then a recognized Lakota linguist) to take a sabbatical to translate and publish Buechel’s original manuscripts. After five additional years of effort, Fr. Manhart in 1998 commissioned Tipi Press to publish the two-volume set Lakota Tales and Texts in translation. [2]

Thirty-two years after its original publication, Fr. Manhart in 2002 completed his revision of the Lakota Dictionary to include English translations of the term usages, a second edition published by the University of Nebraska Press. Containing over thirty thousand entries, the Lakota Dictionary remains the most comprehensive dictionary of the Lakota language to date, serving everyone interested in preserving, speaking, and writing the language. Included the 2002 publication, other Lakota speakers contributed to the expanded edition’s collection of Lakota words; credited in the “Word Sources” section.

Wounded Knee Incident

File:1999-Fr-Paul-Manhart-at-Wounded-Knee-Cemetery-bw.jpg

The Wounded Knee incident began 27 February 1973, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, when approximately 200 Sioux Native Americans, in a military-style operation organized by Dennis Banks, Carter Camp, Russell Means and members of the American Indian Movement, confronted Fr. Manhart at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and (using firearms) took him hostage along with ten other residents of the area (Clive Gildersleeve, Agnes Gildersleeve, Wilber Riegert, Girlie Clark, Bill Cole, Mary Pike, Addrienne Fritz, Jean Fritz, Guy Fritz, Annie Hunts Horse). [3]

The takeover was described by an observer from the press as, “a commando raid in the most accurate sense: well organized, lightning fast, and executed in almost total darkness” (Rapid City Journal, March 1, 1973, p.1) [4] The Wounded Knee occupation by AIM lasted 71 days during which two Indian activists were killed—one struck in the head by a bullet that also pierced the wall of the Catholic church. At one of the roadblocks, U.S. Marshal Lloyd Grimm was seriously wounded when AIM militant gunfire struck his chest and left through his back. [5] The psychological stress of these events required evacuation to Rushville Hospital unconscious hostage Wilber Riegert (87 years of age), at which Fr. Manhart administered the Anointing of the Sick to him. [6]

During Means’ federal trial, The Denver Post reported, “The priest heard the front door unlocked from the inside. He walked quickly to the altar and observed 15 to 20 persons milling about. Four to six had shotguns and rifles and the others carried bayonets, machetes and clubs.” Means soon entered, and the priest said, “Russell, do you know this is a sacred place?” Means did not answer. In a few minutes he told his men, ‘Take him out of here. Take him to the basement and tie him up.” Thousands of rounds of ammunition were exchanged between AIM members and the FBI from their positions outside the church. After federal officials promised to investigate their complaint, AIM leaders and their supporters ended the occupation on 8 May 1973. On 16 September 1973, After an eight-and-a-half-month trial the U.S. District Court of South Dakota ( Fred Joseph Nichol presiding judge) dismissed the charges against Banks and Means for conspiracy and assault because of the U.S. government’s unlawful handling of witnesses and evidence. [7]

Tekakwitha Conference

Fr. Manhart was an invited speaker 3-7 August 1981 at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Tekakwitha Conference, a Roman Catholic institution that supports Christian ministry among Native Americans. [8] Pastoral concerns about Northern Plains native communities are addressed by invited speakers at an annual event. Since 1939 priests, religious brothers and guest speakers discuss concerns ranging from reservation life and Catholic schools to urban relocation, native customs in Catholic worship, native deacons, and native self-determination.

Later Years

After taking sabbatical semesters in 1993 at Gonzaga University and Creighton University Fr. Manhart returned to Holy Rosary Mission to resume his pastoral duties and continue work on the revised edition of the Lakota Dictionary, published in 2002. With his health declining in 2003, Fr. Manhart moved to the St. Camillus Jesuit Community in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He died 1 May 2008 at the age of 81. He was buried at Calvary Cemetery, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, 8 May 2008.

Paul Ignatius Manhart (2 January 1927 – 1 May 2008) was ordained a Jesuit priest of the Catholic Church and served in various capacities on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rapid City. His entire priestly career was dedicated to ministering among the Oglala Native Americans. Fr. Manhart’s scholarly work in linguistics helped preserve and disseminate the living, native North American Lakota language. He was a firsthand witness and participant in the Wounded Knee incident of 1973.

Early Life

Paul I. Manhart was born in Omaha, Nebraska, 2 January 1927, the third of twelve children of Paul Ignatius Manhart Sr. and Catherine Eleanor Steinauer Manhart. He attended Creighton Preparatory High School from 1941 to 1945. On his 18th birthday 2 January 1945 he entered the Society of Jesus at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant, Missouri. He earned an A.B. ( artium baccalaureus) in English and Latin from St. Louis University. In 1952 while still in Jesuit formation, Paul I. Manhart was assigned to teach at Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. In 1955 he moved to St. Mary's College where he was ordained a Catholic priest 18 June 1958.

Published Works

Beginning in 1902, shortly after arriving in the United States from Germany, Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J. taught Lakota boys English at the St. Francis Mission school on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. By the time of his death in 1954, Buechel had collected and translated over 28,000 Lakota words, intended to be aggregated into a dictionary. He preserved hundreds of oral histories, cultural objects, and interpretive information that is displayed at the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum, St. Francis, South Dakota.

As a result of the violent occupation, he and two local men, Benjamin White Butterfly and Ruben Mesteth found their office in shambles and the library shelves stripped of all its books—except the Tales and Texts manuscript. The original Lakota manuscript was rescued from destruction and in June of 1978, Fr. Manhart published Lakota Tales and Texts. It wasn't until 1993 that Fr. John Paul, superior of Holy Rosary Mission, asked Fr. Manhart (by then a recognized Lakota linguist) to take a sabbatical to translate and publish Buechel’s original manuscripts. After five additional years of effort, Fr. Manhart in 1998 commissioned Tipi Press to publish the two-volume set Lakota Tales and Texts in translation. [2]

Thirty-two years after its original publication, Fr. Manhart in 2002 completed his revision of the Lakota Dictionary to include English translations of the term usages, a second edition published by the University of Nebraska Press.

The Wounded Knee incident began 27 February 1973, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, when approximately 200 Sioux Native Americans, in a military-style operation organized by Dennis Banks, Carter Camp, Russell Means and members of the American Indian Movement, confronted Fr. Manhart at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and (using firearms) took him hostage along with ten other residents of the area (Clive Gildersleeve, Agnes Gildersleeve, Wilber Riegert, Girlie Clark, Bill Cole, Mary Pike, Addrienne Fritz, Jean Fritz, Guy Fritz, Annie Hunts Horse). [3]

The takeover was described by an observer from the press as, “a commando raid in the most accurate sense: well organized, lightning fast, and executed in almost total darkness” (Rapid City Journal, March 1, 1973, p.1) [4] The Wounded Knee occupation by AIM lasted 71 days during which two Indian activists were killed—one struck in the head by a bullet that also pierced the wall of the Catholic church. At one of the roadblocks, U.S. Marshal Lloyd Grimm was seriously wounded when AIM militant gunfire struck his chest and left through his back. [5] The psychological stress of these events required evacuation to Rushville Hospital unconscious hostage Wilber Riegert (87 years of age), at which Fr. Manhart administered the Anointing of the Sick to him. [6]

During Means’ federal trial, The Denver Post reported, “The priest heard the front door unlocked from the inside. He walked quickly to the altar and observed 15 to 20 persons milling about. Four to six had shotguns and rifles and the others carried bayonets, machetes and clubs.” Means soon entered, and the priest said, “Russell, do you know this is a sacred place?” Means did not answer. In a few minutes he told his men, ‘Take him out of here. Take him to the basement and tie him up.” Thousands of rounds of ammunition were exchanged between AIM members and the FBI from their positions outside the church. After federal officials promised to investigate their complaint, AIM leaders and their supporters ended the occupation on 8 May 1973. On 16 September 1973, After an eight-and-a-half-month trial the U.S. District Court of South Dakota ( Fred Joseph Nichol presiding judge) dismissed the charges against Banks and Means for conspiracy and assault because of the U.S. government’s unlawful handling of witnesses and evidence. [7]

Tekakwitha Conference

Fr. Manhart was an invited speaker 3-7 August 1981 at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Tekakwitha Conference, a Roman Catholic institution that supports Christian ministry among Native Americans. [8] Pastoral concerns about Northern Plains native communities are addressed by invited speakers at an annual event. Since 1939 priests, religious brothers and guest speakers discuss concerns ranging from reservation life and Catholic schools to urban relocation, native customs in Catholic worship, native deacons, and native self-determination.
