The saintly Indian girl who was baptized Catherine—"Kateri” in her language—and known to many as the “Lily of the Mohawks” was born over 300 years ago in what is now Auriesville, New York. The author has delved deep into the history, psychology, and lore of the North American Indian to present this vivid picture of Kateri and her often-cruel Mohawk people, the joy Christianity brought her, and the sanctity of the girl whose body now lies beneath a marker inscribed: “The fairest flower that ever bloomed among the Redmen.” In 1939 Kateri Tekakwitha’s cause for beatification was introduced in Rome.

Kateri Tekakwitha: Mohawk Maid
This is a charming, delightfully illustrated, historically informative and religiously inspiring juvenile in the Vision Books series, which will probably appeal more to young girls than to boys. Based on authentic sources, it imaginatively recreates the life of Kateri Tekakwitha, The Lily of the Mohawks, the Indian maid who may some day be canonized by the Catholic Church. There is plenty of Indian lore in the book to interest the reader, and heroic sacrifice and poetry combine in the life of this extraordinary Indian girl as she is painted here by the author to make a profound religious impression upon the young reader.
