Father Peter John DeSmet was a Flemish-born Jesuit priest who was largely responsible for the establishment of the Jesuit missionary field to the Native American tribes in the Rocky Mountain region of the Northwestern United States during the mid to late 1800's. He established many missions, including ones to the Flathead, Coeur d'Alene, and Spokane Indian tribes.
