In Her Footsteps:
The Story of St. Kateri Tekakwitha
For 350 years, this Christian Mohawk woman
has been interceding for and inspiring natives
and non-natives around the world. On October
2012, Kateri Tekakwitha became the first Native
North American woman to be recognized as a
Saint.
This powerful documentary takes us on a journey
from northern New York State to Montrèal
and Kahnawàke; from Washington State to New
Mexico, as we follow St. Kateri’s incredible journey
of deep faith, heroic sacrifice and great love
of Christ.
The film features many people who have
been touched by her—including Philadelphia’s
Archbishop Charles Chaput, OFM, of the
Prairie Band Potawatomi tribe, the only Native
American archbishop; Bishop James Wall of
Gallup, NM, the diocese with the largest number
of Native American Catholics; Sr. Kateri Mitchell,
SSA, the Executive Director of the Tekakwitha
Conference, and Jake Finkbonner, the little boy
who received the miraculous healing that saved
his life and that led to Kateri’s canonization.
This moving documentary film shows that
no one is too simple, too poor or too young to
give their lives to Christ, and that this woman,
an outcast by her people because of her Catholic
faith, whose face was badly scarred from smallpox
and vision almost lost, is a true model for
modern believers and a powerful source of grace
and healing for all.
