This exhibit highlights the work of Puritan missionary John Eliot and his work with Massachusetts Native Americans in the 1630s. Eliot learned Algonquin and with that knowledge was able to translate the bible and other religious texts seen in the Indian Primer and bible fragment artifacts in the exhibit. In the exhibit, Eliot's missionary work is compared to Frank Cushing's anthropoligical research in Skull Wars.
