St. Ignatius Mission on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western
Montana was a bustling place in the early 1890s. Each year well
over three hundred Native American students attended the schools
and over a thousand tribal members and Indian visitors camped at
the mission for the Christmas, Easter, and St. Ignatius Day
celebrations. The mission was also a training center for aspiring
Jesuit priests. Here Indian students and parishioners learned
useful skills and received spiritual consolation, even as the
missionaries worked to undermine valuable aspects of Salish and
Kootenai culture. Documents in "Zealous in All Virtues" describe
the schools and the student exhibitions of drama, song, oratory,
and music. Although direct Indian reminiscences from the period
have not survived, "Zealous in All Virtues" assembles government
reports, newspaper accounts, St. Ignatius church records, letters
from missionaries, and other sources to offer general readers and
historians an intriguing glimpse into life at a nineteenth-century
mission.
