Summary The Prairieleut Hutterians, emigrating from the Ukraine in the late nineteenth century to settle on the Dakota plains, are an under-studied American Christian community. While these Praire People maintain Hutterian social and theological traditions, they have chosen, unlike other Hutterians, to live non-communally. Nonetheless, to this day many of them remain committed to consensus models of decision-making, pacifism, a simple lifestyle, and to the social dimension of Christianity.
