	Samson Occom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Reverend Samson Occom (also spelled Occum) (1723 – 1792) was a member of the Mohegan nation near New London, Connecticut, born to Joshua Tomacham and Sarah, believed to be a direct descendant of the famous Mohegan chief, Uncas.
		Occom also took issue with the fact that Wheelock put the funds toward establishing Dartmouth College for the education of Englishmen rather than of Native Americans.
		Upon his return from England, Occom lived at Mohegan, then moved in 1786 with some New England and Long Island Indians to Oneida territory in what is known today as New York.

		Samson Occom of the Mohegan tribe was born in 1723 at Mohegan, Connecticut.
		Occom's evangelizing received a great deal of attention, and despite his lack of formal theological training-- he had not gone to college on account of his poor eyesight--; he was ordained by the Presbytery of Long Island in 1759.
		Occom was encouraged by Wheelock to undertake missionary work among the Iroquois, but after a disagreement over Wheelock's plan to use the Indian Charity School funds to establish what was to become Dartmouth College, Occom preached alone, itinerant, and poor among the various tribes of New England.

		Samson Occom was a member of the Mohegan tribe of Connecticut who received a missionary education prior to his ordination as a Congregational minister.
		Samson Occom's autobiography represents the bicultural Native American dilemma in the eighteenth century; the voices that speak to us from the text reflect the dichotomy between two radically different cultures.
		Occom identifies himself as a member of both a heathen and Christian community, and consistently speaks of himself in relation to the communities he lives in.

		Born a Mohegan, the northernmost branch of the Pequot tribe, in Connecticut, Samson Occom was deeply impressed by the message of Christian evangelical preachers when he was sixteen, and he later converted.
		Occom spent more than a decade with Wheelock before leaving to teach and preach God's word to Indians in New London first, then in Montauk, Long Island, where he married a Montauk woman and was ordained a Presbyterian minister.
		Occom and Wheelock's friendship ended when Wheelock neglected to care for Occom's family while Occom was away raising money for Wheelock's Indian school and, subsequently, when Wheelock used those funds to establish what would later become Dartmouth College and turned its focus away from Indian students.

	Samson Occom (Mohegan) (1723-1792)
		Occom's narrative offers the opportunity to follow the stages of his movement from traditional Mohegan life to conversion and acculturation, his methods of teaching his Indian students and conducting church services, and resentment of being paid far less that white preachers because he was Indian.
		Students need to realize what a politically delicate position Occom was in--he needed to educate his white audience without alienating them and to balance his presentation to the three groups that constitued the total audience.
		If I did, two possible topics would be Occom's use of distinct rhetorical strategies to appeal to the various groups in his audience and to Moses Paul; and the extent to which Occom follows the standard structure and basic content for such sermons (see text headnote).

		Occom (as well as other Christian missionaries) may have felt the need to address the problem of intoxication because there was, in fact, an increasing availability of hard alcohol in the mid-1700s.
		Occom is referring to the island of Tahiti, called by its native inhabitants (and Captain Cook) Otaheite, which translates to “It is Tahiti” or “The Tahiti” (Beaglehole 174).
