This volume brings together for the first time the known writings
of the pioneering Native American religious and political leader,
intellectual, and author, Samson Occom (Mohegan; 1723-1792). The
largest surviving archive of American Indian writing before Charles
Eastman (Santee Sioux; 1858-1939), Occom's writings offer
unparalleled views into a Native American intellectual and cultural
universe in the era of colonialization and the early United States.
His letters, sermons, journals, prose, petitions, and hymns--many
of them never before published--document the emergence of pantribal
political consciousness among the Native peoples of New England as
well as Native efforts to adapt Christianity as a tool of
decolonialization. Presenting previously unpublished and newly
recovered writings, this collection more than doubles available
Native American writing from before 1800.
