| Zusammenfassung: | "The daughter of an Algonquin mother and an Iroquois father, Catherine/Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680) has become known over the centuries as a Catholic convert so holy that, almost immediately upon her death, she became the object of a cult. Today she is revered as a patron saint by Native Americans and the patroness of ecology and the environment by Catholics more generally, the first Native North American proposed for sainthood." "Tekakwitha was born at a time of cataclysmic change, as Native Americans of the northeast experienced the effects of European contact and colonization. A convert to Catholicism in the 1670s, she embarked on a physically and mentally grueling program of self-denial, aiming to capture the spiritual power of the newcomers from across the sea. Her story intersects with that of Claude Chauchetiere, a French Jesuit of mystical tendencies who came to America hoping to rescue savages from sin and paganism. But it was Claude himself who needed help to face down his own despair. He became convinced that Tekakwitha was a genuine saint and that conviction gave meaning to his life. Though she lived until just 24, Tekakwitha's severe penances and vivid visions were so pronounced that Chauchetiere wrote an elegiac hagiography shortly after her death. "With this study, Allan Greer has written a dual biography of Tekakwitha and Chauchetiere, unpacking their cultures in Native America and in France. He examines the missionary and conversion activities of the Jesuits in Canada, and explains the Indian religious practices that interweave with converts' Catholic practices. He also relates how Tekakwitha's legend spread through the hagiographies and to areas of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Mexico in the centuries since her death. The book also explores issues of body and soul, illness and healing, sexuality and celibacy, as revealed in the lives of a man and a woman, from profoundly different worlds, who met centuries ago in the remote Mohawk village of Kahnawake."--Jacket |

Ill., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (p. 207-241) and index "The daughter of an Algonquin mother and an Iroquois father, Catherine/Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680) has become known over the centuries as a Catholic convert so holy that, almost immediately upon her death, she became the object of a cult. Today she is revered as a patron saint by Native Americans and the patroness of ecology and the environment by Catholics more generally, the first Native North American proposed for sainthood." "Tekakwitha was born at a time of cataclysmic change, as Native Americans of the northeast experienced the effects of European contact and colonization. A convert to Catholicism in the 1670s, she embarked on a physically and mentally grueling program of self-denial, aiming to capture the spiritual power of the newcomers from across the sea. Her story intersects with that of Claude Chauchetiere, a French Jesuit of mystical tendencies who came to America hoping to rescue savages from sin and paganism. But it was Claude himself who needed help to face down his own despair. He became convinced that Tekakwitha was a genuine saint and that conviction gave meaning to his life. Though she lived until just 24, Tekakwitha's severe penances and vivid visions were so pronounced that Chauchetiere wrote an elegiac hagiography shortly after her death. "With this study, Allan Greer has written a dual biography of Tekakwitha and Chauchetiere, unpacking their cultures in Native America and in France. He examines the missionary and conversion activities of the Jesuits in Canada, and explains the Indian religious practices that interweave with converts' Catholic practices. He also relates how Tekakwitha's legend spread through the hagiographies and to areas of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Mexico in the centuries since her death. The book also explores issues of body and soul, illness and healing, sexuality and celibacy, as revealed in the lives of a man and a woman, from profoundly different worlds, who met centuries ago in the remote Mohawk village of Kahnawake."--Jacket Chauchetière, Claude <1645-1709> Chauchetière, Claude <1645-1709> rasuqam Tekakwitha, Kateri <1656-1680> Tekakwitha, Kateri <1656-1680> rasuqam Tekakwitha, Kateri 1656-1680 Chauchetière, Claude 1645-1709 Tekakwitha, Kateri Heilige 1656-1680 (DE-588)118836625 gnd rswk-swf Jésuites - Missions - New York (État) - Histoire - 17e siécle Jésuites rasuqam Jesuits Missions New York (State) History Jesuiten (DE-588)80092-2 gnd rswk-swf Femmes mohawk - Biographies Histoire rasuqam Indianen gtt Jezuïeten gtt Mission (Religion) rasuqam Mohawk (Indiens) rasuqam Pratique religieuse rasuqam Saints chrétiens - Amérique du Nord - Biographies Geschichte Indianer Mohawk women Biography Mohawk Indians Religion Women saints New York (State) Biography Mohawk (DE-588)4101112-0 gnd rswk-swf Missionar (DE-588)4039575-3 gnd rswk-swf Heilige (DE-588)4117606-6 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Biographie (Descripteur de forme) rasuqam USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Jesuiten (DE-588)80092-2 b Missionar (DE-588)4039575-3 s Mohawk (DE-588)4101112-0 s Heilige (DE-588)4117606-6 s DE-604 Tekakwitha, Kateri Heilige 1656-1680 (DE-588)118836625 p 1\p DE-604 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
