Isaac Jogues is able to turn each moment of his life towards Christ. He shares multiple conversations with Native and European characters who do not believe, and turns their thoughts toward God. Saint John Brebeuf also gives a description of how a person can belong fully to Christ without betraying their heritage. 

A character is implied to be drunk in the opening of the episode and makes racist remarks against the Native peoples. There are also moments of suspense and threats of violence.

Kateri chooses to follow the voice of God rather than go along with an arranged political marriage. She is curious about the faith and open to God’s will. Kateri ultimately disobeys her parental figures by getting baptized, but does so in order to follow Christ.

Depiction of heavy drinking at a loud feast. Suspenseful depiction of an attacking animal which turns out to be a friendly dog.

Kateri finds herself in a difficult physical and moral situation but demonstrates courage,  patience, and good humor. She does her best to obedience towards her dysfunctional adoptive parents. 

There are some clear references to violence and war. References to pagan mythology and to Kateri’s being orphaned by disease. Some moments of intensity and arguments between families. Negative gossip and anti-Christian language on the part of some of the Mohawk characters.
