These images were compiled by Mennonite Pioneer Mission and Native Ministries staff. They cover over sixty years of Mennonite-Indigenous relations and history, predominantly in Manitoba. Images of staff and those in the communities where they served make up the majority of the content. The images document life in the communities where the mission stations were situated and community-related events that include, but are not limited to, trips, camp outings, meetings, and conferences. The collection therefore gives a visual overview of MPM and Native Ministries related activity over time.
