“What made the Catholicism of Kahnawake distinctively Iroquoian was not just the admixture of indigenous rituals and beliefs; it was the way in which the Indians made Christianity their own. Virtually all Kahnawake converts dutifully recited their prayers and went to mass; many turned to shamanism and divination in times of need; some (or was it the same individuals in different circumstances?) set out to plumb the deepest mysteries of Christianity.”
― Allan Greer, Mohawk Saint: Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits
