In the same Native village where Isaac Jogues, Rene Goupil and John LaLande were killed ten years earlier, Kateri Tekakwitha was born to a Mohawk chief and an Algonquin christian woman. She was only four when most of her village was wiped out by small pox, leaving her with weak eyesight and a pock mocked face. The survivors moved to a new village nearby and Kateri continued to grow up in the Mohawk tradition. They lived in a long house, hunted, fished and grew corn, beans and squash.
