I wonder,

are there any extant images of her from the period?

Toronto pilgrims to take in canonization of Blessed Kateri

I wonder only because, as happy as I am about this event, probably as happy as most people in fact, the picture they're using to depict Blessed Kateri presents a pretty Anglo look, and I don't mean this in any racist manner. Even her colour seems to be a product of shade and surrounding colour and not her race. I'm only wondering because of what so many artists have done to our Lord in their art, making him as Caucasion as possible, leaving out any trace of his real heritage...

One wonders

if it's just the start...

Christian church, Native American tribe reconcile

I think it's necessary for the descendents of the original settlers to apologize, but I wonder if there will be a financial settlement as well. It's what has happened so often in Canada that there's an expectation of financial redress...

(I'm not saying I disaprove, I'm just stating a fact. It was something the article didn't touch on, consequently I don't think it was part of the apology. We seem to be much further ahead in Canada regarding fairness in Aboriginal reparations.)
