Tekakwitha Spring is located just a hundred feet or so south of the Caughnawaga Indian Village and was there source of water. Tekakwitha Spring is named after Kateri Tekakwitha. At this point in time the Vatican is reviewing her case and considering her for sainthood. Its quite amazing that someone who died in 1680 has influenced people so strongly over 300 years later. Much is written about Kateri and her life. Definitely worth reading in my opinion. Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
