Summary: Let \(f\) be an orientation preserving homeomorphism of \(S^2\) which has a (nontrivial) continuum \(X\) as a minimal set. Then there are exactly two connected components of \(S^2\setminus X\) which are left invariant by \(f\) and all the others are wandering. The Carathéodory rotation number of an invariant component is irrational.
