The great Shawnee warrior Tecumseh

Tecumseh, the great Shawnee warrior, was a towering figure in Native American history. Born in the late 18th century, he rose to prominence as a visionary leader dedicated to preserving the land, culture, and sovereignty of his Shawnee people in the face of relentless westward expansion by European settlers. With his compelling oratory skills and unyielding determination, Tecumseh attempted to unite various Native American tribes into a formidable confederacy, forging a united front against encroachment. His fearless exploits in the War of 1812 earned him widespread respect, but tragically, he fell in battle. Tecumseh's legacy endures as a symbol of indigenous resistance and unity, leaving an indelible mark on the history of North America.

It is remembrance day and as a Canadian it is appropriate to remember the warriors of the past.

[@JackHoops14]

If you guys don’t believe me that’s fine but he is my great great great great grandfather

[@Higher_Ground_Detailing]

It's crazy I just came across this, in some way, you and I are related. I just found out that I'm also related the Chief Tecumseh.

[@JackHoops14]

@@Higher_Ground_Detailing that’s actually cool I never knew that you were related

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

What clan was he?

[@paulsshadow6604]

Given that his only 2 grandsons through Paukeesaa died without any confirmed heirs by contemporary sources, being any sort of great grandchild doesn't seem to be likely.

​@Fresh-tw7ev I used to know but cannot remember. I THINK the Kispothaka(spelling) clan which was the group living in the now Chillicothe Ohio area.

When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre.- Chiksika, Shawnee

My son is part shawnee. I'd love for him to be involved with his tribe

[@deputydillhole]

No mentioning of him predicting two eclipses and being considered a Prophet?

Tecumseh killed many in battle but forbad his warriors from torturing and mistreating captives.
