          Native American student

          Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck (estimated 1644 – 1666) was the first Native American to graduate from Harvard University.

          Life

          Cheeshahteaumuck, the son of a Nobnocket (West Chop) sachem, was born into the Wampanoag tribe on Martha's Vineyard and he received a formal education.[1] He and his classmate Joel Hiacoomes were taught on the Vineyard by Peter Folger, the maternal grandfather to Benjamin Franklin.

          The two went on to attend Elijah Corlet's grammar school in Cambridge in around 1657.[2]

          Harvard and death

          Cheeshahteaumuck and Hiacoomes both entered Harvard's Indian College in 1661.[2] Hiacoomes died in a shipwreck a few months prior to graduation while returning to Harvard from Martha's Vineyard.

          Cheeshahteaumuck became the first Native American to graduate from Harvard in 1665. He died of tuberculosis in Watertown, Massachusetts less than a year after graduation.[3][4]&#
