Harvard Indian College

The Indian College was an institution established in the 1640s in order to educate Native American students at Harvard College in the town of Cambridge, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The College's building in Harvard Yard was completed in 1656 and it housed a printing press used to publish the first Bible translated into a Native American language: the Eliot Indian Bible of 1663, which was also the first Bible in any language printed in British North America. The Indian College was supported financially by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England, a Christian missionary charity based in London.
