Professional Indian: The American Odyssey of Eleazer Williams
Michael Leroy Oberg
Born in 1788, Eleazer Williams was raised in the Catholic Iroquois settlement of Kahnawake along the St Lawrence River. He achieved regional renown as a missionary to the Oneida Indians in central New York; he was also instrumental in their removal, allying with white federal officials and the Ogden Land Company to persuade Oneidas to relocate to Wisconsin. Williams accompanied them himself, making plans to minister to the transplanted Oneidas, but he left the community and his young family for long stretches of time. 'Professional Indian' follows Eleazer Williams on this odyssey across the early American republic and through the shifting spheres of the Iroquois in an era of dispossession.
