History: Pope Leo X recognized the Capuchins as a distinct Franciscan branch, 1517, who self-identify with the post-nominal initials, “O.F.M. Cap.” They evangelized Native Americans in New France (present-day Alabama and Louisiana), 17-18^th centuries, and in the United States, they made their first foundation, 1857. The following U.S. provinces have evangelized Native Americans. For more information, see the guide entries on the province archives.
