<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20689/20121018/first-native-saint-quot-beacon-of-empowerment-quot</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 18, 2012) Catholics across Upstate New York and Canada are celebrating the canonization of a 17th century Mohawk woman. She&apos;ll become the first Native American saint in a ceremony this Sunday at the Vatican.  Kateri Tekakwitha (pronounced &quot;gah-deh-LEE de-gah-GWEE-tah&quot;) was born in the Mohawk Valley, near what is today Albany. Smallpox killed her parents and partially blinded her when she was six. She fled her village and devoted her life to the Catholic Church at the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve near Montreal. She died when she was just 24 years old.That church, St. Francis Xavier in Kahnawake, is holding vigils, masses, and other special events throughout the weekend.Hundreds of faithful are travelling to Rome to witness the canonization in person. Among them is the mother of Darren Bonaparte, a Mohawk historian and author of a book called A Lily Among Thorns: the Mohawk Repatriation of Takeri Tekakwitha.Bonaparte told David Sommerstein Kateri Tekakwitha&apos;s story needs to be seen in its historical context. He says the Dutch and the French were vying for Mohawk lands in the 17th century, spreading smallpox to the native people as they went.
