<\/p>\r\nThere was a Catholic Priest at the Holy Rosary Indian Mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the late 1930s and 1940s who was also a great photographer. His name was Father Zimmerman.

<\/p>\r\nHe traveled to all of South Dakota\u2019s reservations taking photos of people, mostly of entire families. Most of the photos he took are archived at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The only family photos I have are those taken by Father Zimmerman. He was in Kyle on day and got our entire family, except my dad, lined up for a photo shoot. But this is what he did all over Indian Country.

<\/p>\r\nI am sure that if you could supply the people at Marquette with enough information, they might be able to find one of your own family photos that Father Zimmerman took<\/a>.
