Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha was a Native American who was Christian, against the wishes of her tribe and uncle. She has an amazing story! Here are some fun ways to celebrate her upcoming feast day:
My ABC Saint crafts include St. Kateri, so check those out!
I also have a video on how to draw your own St. Kateri.
Try crafting these teepeees with That Artist Woman.
She has a template!
Print out this Blessed Kateri Fun Fact Sheet
from Catholic Online. I love these!
Here’s a free coloring page of Blessed Kateri
from St. John the Baptist Church– these are just
beautiful and a great free resource! Scroll down past the stations.

I loved these God’s Eyes– they look very
Native American with the feathers, yet they’re Christian.
I thought it might be neat given Blessed Kateri’s story.
Blessed Kateri seems to always be holding a cross made
from sticks in her pictures, so I thought it would be really cool to
make a stick crucifix like this on from Growing with my Girls!
And here are some free printable Native American
paper dolls– maybe give her a cross! 😉
God bless!!!
lol they in fact, did not live in teepees. My grandfather is a mohawk and Kateri's father was a mohawk. Her mother was algonquin. They lived in longhouses. This is still a great assortment of activites for learning about native americans in general. I chose Kateri as my Confirmation Saint when I was baptised/confirmed 3 years ago 😉 I found more info about Mohawks here: http://www.bigorrin.org/mohawk_kids.htm
oh and we will be using many of the resources you listed! Thanks so much for finding them for us!!! You're awesome!
very cool. I will forward this to my sis whose name is Katherine and whose patron saint is Blessed Kateri.
Thank you!
I love these ideas, Lacy! Thanks once again for putting these together for the Catholic community. You're a very special lady.
Great Idea, thanks for sharing
God bless you
I am doing a project on her
