This sub-series consists of records created or acquired by the Oblate Indian-Eskimo Council and its predecessors. The Council was established in Ottawa in 1936 as the Indian Welfare and Training Commission, the goal of which was to coordinate Oblate apostolic work in First Nations missions. This would expand to include the work in the missions, coordinate educational and legal objectives, and to represent, safeguard and enhance the interests of this work to the federal government. The commission was a national organization made up of an administrative committee and those responsible for missions, that is, Oblate Bishops, Vicars Apostolic (later Vice-Provincials) and the Provincials of the Canadian Provinces. The commission was known variously as the Indian and Eskimo Welfare Commission, the Indian and Eskimo Welfare Commission of the Oblates, and the Oblate Indian-Eskimo Council.

The publishing companies allowed for access to the various Francophone communities served by the Congregation. In 1928 the Association Canadienne-Française de l'Alberta (ACFA) decided to establish its own paper in Edmonton, Alberta, called La Survivance, and an accompanying printing company, La Survivance Printing Ltd.. Imprimerie Canadienne Ltd. was incorporated in October the same year and a contract was signed with La Survivance Printing Ltd. on the 16th of February 1929 stipulating that the latter was to lease, use and maintain the printing machines of Imprimerie Canadienne Ltd. All three companies, La Survivance Printing Ltd., La Survivance, and Imprimerie Canadienne Ltd., were financed and controlled by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Despite the financial problems of the journal, the Oblates provided financing and unpaid qualified workers until 1973, when the journal (which had changed its name to Le Franco-Albertain in 1967) and the printing company were sold to ACFA for the symbolic amount of 1 dollar. The paper would eventually become Le Franco.
