1st Native American Saint Stirs Pride, Skepticism
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Some Mohawks are treating the naming of the nation's first Native American saint with skepticism and fear that the Roman Catholic Church will try to use it to marginalize traditional spiritual practices.
They see the story of Kateri Tekakwitha as a reminder of colonial atrocities and religious oppression.
Many Catholics and Native Americans speak of Kateri as a uniting figure and hope her elevation to sainthood will help heal old wounds.
The daughter of a Mohawk chief and a Catholic Algonquin woman, Kateri was born in 1656 in Auriesville, about 40 miles northwest of Albany and in the heart of the Iroquois Confederacy to which the Mohawks belong.
She and six others were made saints last Sunday by the Catholic Church.

Trial of Okla. fire chief's goes over to defense
May 19, 2013 19:42 GMT
EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- A woman accused in the fatal shooting of her husband in their Mustang home is trying to show she's a caring person who wouldn't take a life.
Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan was slain in 2011 and prosecutors say Rebecca Bryan used a pistol that was found hidden in the home.
Prosecutors finished their portion of the case on Friday, and Bryan's lawyers began her defense by calling members of her family and friends to testify.
The Oklahoman reports (http://is.gd/b5ottV ) that defense witnesses described Rebecca Bryan as someone quick to help a person in need.
But prosecutors spent devoted their case to portraying her as a killer who is trying to pin the slaying on a fictional intruder.
Trial is to resume Monday in El Reno.
