− | The [[Baraga | + | The [[Baraga Homestead]] is a birthplace of [[Friderik Irenej Baraga]] (1797–1868), a bishop, missionary, and linguist. The two rooms in his manor in Mala vas, a village near [[Trebnje Municipality|Trebnje]] in the Dolenjska region, display his personal belongings and documentation of his missionary activities among the native peoples of North America. The collection is managed by the Archbishop's Ordinariate in Ljubljana. Part of Baraga's collection, however, is on display at the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]] and represents the oldest non-European contribution to the museum (donated by the missionary himself in 1837). |
