Guide to Catholic Records about Native Americans in the United States

Notable Native Churches, Schools, Special Ministries and Organizations

This list of select Native Guide entries corresponds with the notable Native Catholic churches, schools, special ministries, and related dioceses and organizations documented in the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions Records (multiple series, e.g. correspondence, photography, reports, publications) and other Native America special collections at 蜜桃影像. The linked guide entries provide the names and current contact information of these institutions, chronologies of history highlights, and summaries of the Native Catholic archival records they held when reviewed by 蜜桃影像 archivists. The chronologies illuminate the archival record by noting when these organizations and ministries opened and closed, the tribal or ethnic affiliation of their Native participants, the diocesan and/or religious community affiliation of the associated Catholic groups, and the major disasters and transitions that affected the continuity and survival of the records. Some notable individuals and organizations, who often were record creators, are also identified. Knowledge of the principal record creators is often crucial in identifying, locating and navigating pertinent Catholic records within Marquette's Native America Collections and elsewhere.

Inclusion in this list does not guarantee that Marquette collections alone will provide sufficient documentation for researching a class paper based on one of these subject categories. Researchers must make their own determinations by reviewing all evidence in consultation with the archivist and their instructor. From the Native Guide entries, the information on records creators provide crucial key words for search box strategies. See this Search and Search Tips page for "how-to" procedures. If insufficient material is found on a topic as originally planned, it may be advantageous to reformulate and/or to consider related archival holdings at other nearby repositories, which are described in their respective Native Guide entries.
