Kateri Tekakwitha Shrine & Mohawk Village, New York - Travels With Phil

Kateri Tekakwitha is the first American Indian to have been named a saint by the Catholic Church. She was a Mohawk and lived in the 1600s in central New York near the modern town of Fonda. She was only the 10th person born in the USA to become a saint. Using two of my video clips, and several dozen photos, I show you her shrine and the ancient site of the Mohawk village of Caughnawaga Castle where she lived. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -

What an amazing place to preserve for future generations and a special woman to celebrate! I loved your video story.

Funny thing - in my childhood home town, on a northern N.J. lake, used to be a Catholic girls' camp, it was named Camp Tegagwitha. This was in the 1950's. It was several hundred miles from Kateri's homeland, and the local natives were Lenni Lenape, not Mohawk.
Another note - Kateri was blind and helpless, and had no choice but to allow the Catholics to "adopt" and care for her.
I have been to the Fonda, N.Y. area many times.
