	Kateri Tekakwitha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kateri Tekakwitha (1656 – April 17, 1680), the daughter of a Mohawk warrior and a Christian Algonquin woman, was born in the Mohawk fortress of Ossernenon near present-day Auriesville, New York.
		At the age of 4 smallpox swept through Ossernenon, and Tekakwitha was left with unsightly scars and poor eyesight.
		Allan Greer's 2005 book Mohawk Saint : Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits is a most enlightening look at her life, as well as that of her Jesuit biographers/hagiographers, and questions the way social/religious/cultural groups and even research sources themselves are analyzed in historiography.

		But, learning the next minute that it was a dead body, and that of Catherine, they returned to the cabin and went down on their knees to recommend themselves to her prayers.

		When O and F aren't thinking about themselves, they are painstakingly reconstructing certain incidents in the life of the Lily of the Mohawks, Catherine Tekakwita, a self-torturing Indian saint of the days of New France.
		In their ceaseless pursuit of stimulation and final oblivion, they are as unable to bear the burdens of the self as the deluded saint.
		Thus the novel is Prufrockian dedoublement carried to its utmost conclusion-confusion, as O the mad pedant and F the mad cocksman unite in a final gambol before death.

	Anglicans Online \| Review of Mohawk Saint
		Nor was she alone in her enthusiasm for Counter-Reformation Catholic spirituality and ascesis; in fact, Catherine was one of a small but not inconsiderable number of women in her band who formed a close-knit circle of female penitents who refused to marry and engaged in mutual religious exhortation and flagellation.
		Almost always known as “Kateri Tekakwitha,” Catherine is the subject of shrines, websites, statues, bumper-stickers and knickknacks; throughout the United States and Canada she is a potent symbol of Native American Catholicism.
		At the end of Greer’s analysis, however, the compelling objective image of Catherine Tekakwitha remains—as a woman of prayer and uncompromising faith in Jesus Christ, of heroic virtue, inner stability and strength in a period of extraordinary cultural upheaval.

	Beautiful Losers 0679748253 Review at Smarter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Funny, harrowing, and fiercely moving, it is a classic erotic tragedy, incandescent in its prose and exhilarating for its risky union of sexuality and faith. One of the best-known experimental novels of the 1960s, Beautiful Losers is Cohen's most defiant and uninhibited work.
		The novel centres upon the hapless members of a love triangle united by their sexual obsessions and by their fascination with Catherine Tekakwitha, the 17th-century Mohawk saint.
		By turns vulgar, rhapsodic, and viciously witty, Beautiful Losers explores each character's attainment of a state of self-abandonment, in which the sensualist cannot be distinguished from the saint. Singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen was also a poet and novelist.

		As Allan Greer has documented in his recent book, Mohawk Saint: Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits, the impetus to canonize Kateri has come largely from the American Catholic Church and the needs of its immigrant Catholics.
		As he tells it, "what made Tekakwitha doubly attractive as a nationalist icon for American Catholics was her status as a noble savage and woman/girl."
