Wowaus, also known as James Printer (c. 1650-1709), was an early Nipmuc writer who helped create the first Indian Bibles in the Massachusett language (an Algonquin language), which were used by English colonists in the cultural assimilation of Native Americans. In his late life, Wowaus was a teacher in Hassanemesit. His son, Ami, signed the deed that sold the last of the Hassanamesit tribal lands to the colonists in 1727.
