Native American Saint:
A Huron woman who became a Mohawk after being kidnapped. In 1677, she became the first Indian nun. French Jesuits wrote of miraculous cures performed by swallowing in water or in a broth, a little dust from the tomb of Kateri Tekakwitha, the saintly Iroquois Christian girl who died in 1680 (Vogel, Virgil J., American Indian Medicine.Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1977, 28). Smallpox claimed her family. On Easter Sunday in 1676, she was baptized, Catharine (Kateri in Mohawk). She died in 1690(ten years different than Vogel's date) at the age of 24 years.
