Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "John Eliot was an Englishman who converted many Native Amercians to Christianity. He moved to New England in 1631 and began to preach to Indians in English, but he soon learned their language, Algonkian. In 1654, he published a catechism for them and translated the Bible into Algonkian. He also helped Indians to plan their own towns where they could preserve their own culture and language.".
