Kateri (Catherine) was born either at the Mohawk village of Gandaouagué in northern New York state, or at Ossernenon (perhaps the same settlement as Caughnawaga, the ancient Mohawk capital) in about 1656. Her father was a Mohawk chief, her mother an Algonquin woman. Mohawk settlements not only relocated periodically, but some were given the same name as others; some also had alternate names, making the exact identification very difficult.
