A sign calling attention to the First Nations is seen among Canadian pilgrims before the start of a canonization Mass for seven new saints led by Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican Oct. 21. Among those canonized were two from North America — St. Kateri Tekakwitha, a Native American born in upstate New York who died in Canada in 1680, and St. Marianne Cope, who worked with leprosy patients on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.
