The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks

Ellen H. Walworth's 'The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks' is a meticulously researched biography that provides a vivid portrait of the life of the first Native American saint. Through her eloquent prose, Walworth delves into the cultural and spiritual context of Kateri Tekakwitha's life, offering readers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a young Mohawk woman who embraced Christianity against all odds. The book expertly captures the intersection of colonialism, religion, and indigenous traditions in 17th century North America. Ellen H. Walworth, a prominent historian and suffragist, was drawn to Kateri Tekakwitha's story due to her own advocacy for social justice and women's rights. Walworth's deep empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities enrich the narrative, making it a compelling and enlightening read for scholars and general readers alike. I highly recommend 'The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks' to anyone interested in the history of Native American-Christian relations, as well as those who appreciate well-researched biographies that shed light on overlooked figures in history.
