Journey with St. Katharine Drexel, the beloved Philadelphia heiress-turned-saint, as she recounts in her own words a 1922 trip through the Southwest and her visitation of the Navajo mission that she helped finance. Mother's first-hand perspective shines throughout, from her leaving the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament at Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania, to all the other sights she observed on her trip: a view of the pueblos from the railroad car, the baptism of a dying Indian child, her tour of the school, and her encounter with medicine-man Hastin Yazhi. Features five photos taken on the journey and two contemporary maps.

First published in 1825, this work is one of the earliest attempts to reconstruct pre-contact Iroquois history. Compiled by David Cusick, a Tuscarora historian, the book attempts to relate events as far back as 1000 BC based on the oral tradition of the Iroquois, including historical and mythological traditions.

Featuring centuries-old Mass settings in the Mohawk language, as sung in the Indian mission of Lake of Two Mountains, Quebec (Kanesatake/Oka). This spiral-bound choir edition includes half-dozen Mass Propers for various seasons in the liturgical year, six settings of the Mass ordinaries, and the Requiem Mass.

This volume is the first ever book-length treatment of the distinctive American Indian Catholic liturgies of the Northeastern Woodlands. It compares and contrasts the Indian Masses of different missions with each other and with the official Roman Missal. It also contains chapters on the calendar and hagiography of the missions; formulas for Baptism, Matrimony, and other sacraments; the Divine Office; characteristic sacramentals and devotions; and religious life. The first book of its kind, and a must for scholars of Native American Catholicism.
