Native Spirit tells the story of Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk girl living a simple life, but destined for great things. A true native saint for North America, Saint Kateri understood personal sacrifice and by her example, led many to the Catholic faith. This biography, told like a novel, affords the reader, both adult and young adult, an understanding of her life in seventeenth century New York state. Novella, with notes, discussion guide, and bibliography.
