Description
TEKAKWITHA (Tagaskouïta, Tegakwitha), Baptized Kateri (Katharine, Catherine). The First American Genuine Native to be Named Saint, Daughter of a Christian Algonquin Woman and a Pagan Mohawk.
----------------------------------------------------------
She was Born 1656 Ossernenon, Iroquois Confederacy (New France until 1763, now Auriesville, New York), died 1680 April 17, Kahnawake (near Montreal), Quebec, Canada. She was Beatified June 22, 1980, in Vatican City by Pope John Paul II and Canonized as a Saint October 21, 2012, in Vatican City by Pope Benedict XVI. Her major shrine is in the Saint Francis Xavier Church, Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada.
Tekakwitha, baptized as Catherine and informally known as Lily of the Mohawks, is a Roman Catholic saint who was an Iroquoise Algonquin–Mohawk laywoman. Her real Mohawk name was Ioragode (“Splendor of the sun”). She belongs to the nation of the Iroquois, and among the Iroquois to the tribe of the Agniers, commonly known as Mohawks. She became Christian at age nineteen, when she was baptized Kateri (Iroquoise name for Catherine). Catherine Tekakwitha took a devout vow of perpetual virginity, she is known also as First Iroquois Virgin. Upon her death at the age of 24, witnesses said that minutes later her scars vanished and her face appeared radiant and beautiful. She is known for her virtue of chastity and mortification of the flesh. Various miracles are attributed to her intercession.

Ornaments in the background of the image are inspired by the image of Our lady of Guadalupe.
