There is a strong history of the Shawnee Indian throughout Ohio just about everywhere one goes in this state. Someday, we may become more aware about the battles and struggles in their lifetime than the Civil War.

Shawnee Indian Chiefs and Leaders


Tenskwatawa

The famous "Shawnee Prophet," twin brother of Tecumseh prominent in Indian and American history immediately
before the War of 1812. His original name was Lalawéthika, referring to a rattle or similar instrument.




Tecumseh (properly Tikamthi or Tecumtha: 'One who passes across intervening space from one point to another,' i. e. springs (Jones); the name indicates that the owner belongs to the gens of the Great Medicine Panther, or Meteor, hence the interpretations 'Crouching Panther' and 'ShootingStar' ). A celebrated Shawnee chief, born in 1768 at the Shawnee village of Piqua on Mad river, about 6 in. southwest of the present Springfield, Ohio.

Excellent post, gg

Both Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh were fierce in their devotion to their cause and their people.

I need to take a trip to Piqua one day.
