Saint Kateri Tekakwitha (1656–1680), the first Native American saint, was a Mohawk-Algonquin woman from modern-day USA/Canada, known as the “Lily of the Mohawks.” Canonized in 2012, her ascetic life and devotion inspire North America’s indigenous Catholics. Her shrine in Fonda, New York, draws pilgrims seeking her intercession for faith and healing.
