Becoming Brothertown - Native American Ethnogenesis and Endurance in the Modern World

Covering the eighteenth century to the present, this book explores the emergence of the Brothertown Indians, a community of Native peoples formed in direct response to colonialism and guided by the vision of Samson Occom, a Mohegan Indian and ordained Presbyterian minister. The book develops a pragmatic approach to the study of colonialism while adding an archaeological perspective on Brothertown history.
