Samson Occom Day, an unbelievable event, July 14 on Zoom

Brothertown Indian Nation’s 6th Annual Samson Occom Day Celebration

Please join us via Zoom or phone on Monday, July 14th, at 7:00 p.m. CST
(8:00 p.m. EST, 6:00 p.m. MST, and 5:00 p.m. PST).

Everyone is invited: Brothertown members, family, and friends of the Brothertown Indian Nation.

A special invitation to our Parent tribes to join us in this celebration and learn more!
Mohegan, Pequot, Narragansett, Montauk, and Nehantic Native Nation cousins
and anyone interested in learning more about Samson Occom.

We are so fortunate to have a Mohegan Historian and a Mohegan archivist presenting. This is a rare event and will be filled with History, knowledge, and introspection.

The presentation is planned to include the early years of Samson Occom in New England, touching on his travels to England, and concluding with our migration to Oneida, NY (and the Brothertown Movement), with plenty more in between.

 This event is expected to last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A session and is open to the public.

  • Featuring distinguished speakers from the Mohegan Tribe, our parent tribe, and close cousins.
    • Jason LaVigne: Mohegan Tribal Historian and Tantaquidgeon Museum Operations Manager.
    • Special Guest: David Freeburg – Mohegan Archivist and Librarian, who will be sharing some of Occom’s original manuscripts.
