Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J. packs his car for a days-long journey to chapels, meeting houses and homes of the Lakota people of Rosebud Reservation for whom he was both priest and friend. St. Charles Borromeo Church at St. Francis Mission is in the background. Like his missionary brothers, Fr. Buechel logged thousands of miles and endured crude roads and unforgiving weather conditions to say Mass, administer Sacraments and other comfort and support to the Lakota people he served for almost a half century.

Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J., lived a full missionary life with the Lakota people. Even when he was in his late 70s, Fr. Buechel made regular trips from St. Francis Mission to his many chapels and meeting houses throughout Rosebud reservation. “All the Indians who know him, and they are legion, speak of him as their brother,” wrote the Rev. Gualbert Brunsman, O.S.B., of Fr. Buechel in 1950.

Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J., became an authority on the Lakota language, collecting Lakota words soon after he arrived on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations in 1902. By 1923 his word collection was so large that he had a carpenter build a seven-drawer cabinet. Each drawer was divided to hold three rows of three-by-five-inch papers containing about twenty-eight thousand dictionary entries. The cabinet is still in use today. The dictionary was completed by Fr. Paul Manhart, S.J., and first published in 1970. In 2002, it was again published as “Lakota Dictionary” by University of Nebraska.This photograph was dated July 17, 1945
