Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live about Leaders of Action. The next leader we are going to talk about is Tecumseh. Tecumseh was born into the Shawnee Nation in 1768. Tecumseh built an alliance of First Nations to resist the settlement of the present day Western United States with his brother Tenskwatawa. They encouraged these First Nations to protect their traditions. Tecumseh completely raged over the sale of the lands long by First Nations. He was completely against the sales. Tecumseh allied with Britain against the United States in the war of 1812. Britain promised Tecumseh support on his claim to the western territory in return. Tecumseh and Brock first met on August 13th 1812 near Detroit. They admired each other so much, it’s like they had a love - filled friendship.
