Katari Tekakwitha is the first Native American saint.  She became known as the Lilly of the Mohawks. She was baptized at 19. She lived a devout life giving herself completely to Christ. 
    
When she was a child there was a smallpox epidemic. It took the lives of her parents and two brothers and left her seriously scarred and mostly blind. When she died, her smallpox scars faded away within minutes.
    
July 14, Tuesday of this week, is the Feast of St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
