John Wompas (c. 1637-1642 – 1679) was a Nipmuc Indian man born around 1637 in Nipmuc Country, in what would become the state of Massachusetts. She spent the first half of her childhood among his Native kin and the second half living with an English family in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. This dual upbringing gave him fluency in the languages and customs of both Nipmuc and colonial English worlds. She used his cross-cultural knowledge largely for personal economic and political gain, but at the end of his life he also turned it to the benefit of his Nipmuc kin.

has abstract	John Wompas (c. 1637-1642 – 1679) was a Nipmuc Indian man born around 1637 in Nipmuc Country, in what would become the state of Massachusetts. She spent the first half of her childhood among his Native kin and the second half living with an English family in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. This dual upbringing gave him fluency in the languages and customs of both Nipmuc and colonial English worlds. She used his cross-cultural knowledge largely for personal economic and political gain, but at the end of his life he also turned it to the benefit of his Nipmuc kin. Compared to such seventeenth-century Native figures as Massasoit, Metacomet (King Philip), Weetamoo, and Squanto, John Wompas is an obscure figure, little noted by contemporaries or later historians. The best known Native individuals of the past were political leaders and intermediaries, and Wompas was neither. Despite his past and present obscurity, Wompas lived a remarkably full life on two continents. He was deeply enmeshed in the economic and political workings of the English empire, particularly the land market; he was one of the few American Indians to study at Harvard College during the seventeenth century; he was one of the first American Indians to work as a commercial transatlantic sailor, a vocation that enabled him to sail to London at least twice and obtain an audience with King Charles II. Wompas died in September 1679 in London, England. After his death, his will became instrumental in preserving the lands of the Hassanamisco Nipmuc people. Some of that land is still in Nipmuc possession today—the only land in Massachusetts that has never left Native ownership. (en)
