Kateri was the first Native American to become canonized. She was the daughter of a Christian woman, and ended up marrying a non-Christian Mohawk chief. When she converted to the Faith she was abused for her choice, and fled to a Christian Native American settlement. Many Christian Native Americans frequent her grave.
