“Don’t go looking for Tecumseh.” This warning from Native Americans has echoed across Ohio, Michigan, Canada and beyond, over the two centuries since Tecumseh died in battle on October 5, 1813, in southern Ontario during the War of 1812. What is not a mystery is how the Shawnee chief and warrior is regarded as the greatest Native American.
