Mohawk Saint: Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits, Allan Greer's 2005 dual academic biography from Oxford University Press, situates Kateri Tekakwitha's seventeenth century conversion and move to Kahnawake, and the Jesuit missionary Claude Chauchetiere who wrote about her, within the wider history of Jesuit missions among the Mohawk and the wars and epidemics of the period. Its strength is that it is widely reviewed as the standard scholarly account of her life, treating both the woman and the missionary who shaped her later reputation as equally examinable subjects. Its limit is that a dual biography divides its depth between two figures; a reader wanting Tekakwitha's own community's account of her should also read Mohawk and Kahnawake sources on her legacy.
