Talk:Samson Occom

A Short Narrative of My Life
The following was on the Samson Occum page, which I will make into a redirect:

Samson Occum (1723 – 1792) was a Native American of the Mohegan tribe, who became a Christian minister, active in spreading the gospel among Native Americans of New England and New York.

Occum was born near New London, Connecticut and in 1743, attended Eleazar Wheelock's private school for young men.

I don't know who initially noticed this possible duplication, since I can't see an author for the above redirect note. I agree a merger might be a good idea, unless for example the manuscript is in the World Digital Library and perhaps thus deserving its own page (which likely would mean major editing of that page). Meanwhile I included a link to the manuscript's page in the Samson Occom article and sort of performed the merger. I have no way of including a photograph of the manuscript in this page, but if someone manages to get it, it would make this article better parallel that for the other noted missionary I edited today, John Eliot.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:05, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

S. Occom’s letters to Wheelock repatriated to Mohegan tribe
During the Spring of 2022, S. Occom’s letters to E. Wheelock, in which he politely scolds Wheelock for making the choice to start Dartmouth College in NH serving pioneer students rather than a college in CT serving native Americans and for going against their agreement as such for which S.Occum was securing funds in Europe and was now made to appear a liar, were repatriated to the Mohegan tribe of CT. Dartmouth College has recently (2021) committed to serving Native American students. 2604:4C40:300C:FC68:9498:A9E6:2907:671C (talk) 14:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
