It is significant as "one of a few remaining physical representations in the state that is closely associated with the government's attempt to integrate Native Americans into the army and consequentially adopt Euro-American social mores. The church was used by, among others, Company I, Twenty-First Infantry which was composed of Native Americans and commanded by a white officer."[2]: 6 Company I was posted at Fort Sidney during 1892 to 1894, the period of significance designated for the church in the NRHP listing.[2]
