Indigenous history requires care

At Auriesville and Fonda, honor both Catholic witness and the living history of Mohawk people. Avoid romanticized or adversarial retellings, use the shrines’ own language carefully, and recognize that the two sites preserve different chapters of St. Kateri’s life.

New York’s sacred geography is too large for one weekend. Pair nearby places and give every shrine enough time for prayer, history, and the community that keeps it alive.
