What a wonderful book. It was such a quick and easy read. The story was a beautiful one and moved me. After reading about Tekakwitha's life I will be taking her name for my confirmation. I was very touched and moved by the story.

This review is from: Kateri Tekakwitha: Mohawk Maiden (Vision Books) (Paperback)
This bio of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha tells her story in prose that will be an easy and engaging read for kids 10 and up. I read it to my two oldest children (8 and 7) and they enjoyed it very much.From what I know of Kateri's history, the story is very faithful to the facts, adding embellishments only as appropriate. I particularly appreciated that the author used many of the actual Indian words in the text, though they caused me severe tongue-twistedness on occasion. Here are some examples: Onsengongo (Kateri's uncle), Ononthio (Great Mountain, the name the Indians used for the French governor in Quebec), Kanawaki (another name for the Mohawk town), Ondessonk (Indian name for St. Isaac Jogues). This gave the text a great deal of authenticity. The author also worked a useful phonetic pronunciation of Kateri's Indian name into the text (Te-ka-kweeta) which is so often mangled by us pale-faces. I highly recommend this book. It is excellent for reading with your kids and may give them an interest not only in this outstanding example of Christian piety, but also in the history of colonial and native America.
