The Cataldo Mission is the oldest standing building in the state of Idaho. The Jesuits came to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in the early 1840s with the first mission being established on the St. Joe River about 35 miles south of the present site. In 1846, the mission was closed due to flooding, and a new mission church was begun on this site, which has always been sacred to the natives of the area. The Old Mission (built 1848-1853) was a combined effort of the missionaries and over 300 native Catholics. Fr. Ravalli, an Italian born Jesuit, designed the building to resemble the elegant cathedrals of his homeland, using local materials. The Old Mission was the site of the council following the conflict with Colonel Steptoe, and also served as headquarters for the Mullan Road crews. In 1887, the mission itself was moved to DeSmet, Idaho, to the Coeur d'Alene reservation. The building still stands, as a monument to the cooperation of the Coeur d'Alene tribe and their missionaries. It sits on a beautiful knoll, overlooking the Coeur d'Alene River. The mission and parish house are open for tours, there are picnic grounds and walking paths, a Visitors Center, and two historical cemeteries. COEUR D’ALENE’S OLD MISSION STATE PARK The Coeur d’Alene’s Old Mission State Park spotlights the oldest building in Idaho. The Mission of the Sacred Heart was constructed between 1850 and 1853 by Catholic missionaries and members of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Sacred Heart Mission and the Coeur d’Alene’s Old Mission State Park provide an educational experience not found anywhere else, giving visitors an opportunity to examine the dynamics and complexities between Jesuit missionaries and the tribal people among whom they settled in a beautiful park setting. The park features the Sacred Heart Mission church, a restored Parish House and a historic cemetery. https://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/parks/coeur-d-alenes-old-mission/ ~ Daniel F Mitchell – AOWS Editor Contact AOWS at: danielfmitchell@hotmail.com Subscribe to us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1143951 Subscribe to us on Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AOWS:a Music in this video: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Promise by Nomyn https://soundcloud.com/nomyn Music provided by https://www.plugnplaymusic.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- FOLLOW THE ARTIST ----------------------------------- YOUTUBE : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1r...

The video footage in this video comes from the skiing adventures of Greg and Grant in Montana. From their stories and from these videos, it would seem that Grant and his brother Greg grew up in mountain paradise. The footage in this video came from cell phone and old GoPro videos that they took of their extreme skiing in the Beartooth mountains of Montana. Grant was lamenting that it is too rugged and rough to use in a public video. I saw it as awesome material for a hardcore grunge video. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did making it. We met Grant on top of a mountain in North Idaho, last year. He was a Montana guy, carrying a rubber raft to the top of a mountain, to paddle around an alpine lake. What was not to like about him? Since then, he has been a delightful presence on many of our adventures. He brings positivity and joy to our enterprises. He also reminds the old and fat ones among us, (me) of what it is to be young and full of wonder at the world. He also compels us to walk faster than we might otherwise walk if we were alone. By the way, this skiing took place in late June. ~ Daniel F Mitchell – AOWS Editor Contact AOWS at: danielfmitchell@hotmail.com Subscribe to us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1143951 Subscribe to us on Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AOWS:a Music in this video: (FREE) Nu Metal Rock Instrumental Music No Copyright ArkZion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1fa3BiWB6E https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqd-pF5BV3NW4rhElu8RKkA #BeartoothMountains #Montana #ExtremeSports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0iuBpgK_Po
