Sažetak
In this paper we analyze Jesuit mapmaking in North America in the period after the restoration of the Order (1814) when the Jesuits regained an important place as missionaries and explorers, playing a significant role in the mapping and territorialization of the US. One of the first Jesuits to return to the US after the restoration of the Order was Father Pierre-Jean De Smet (1801– 1873), who started working in Missouri in 1823 and eventually built strong relationships with leaders of numerous Native Nations of the West, including Sitting Bull, war chief of the Sioux.
