Episode: We Shall Remain: Tecumseh's Vision, Pt. 2 of 5

Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa came closer than anyone since to creating an Indian nation that would exist alongside and separate from the United States. The dream of an independent Indian state may have died at the Battle of the Thames, when Tecumseh was killed fighting alongside his British allies, but the great Shawnee warrior would live on as a potent symbol of Native pride and pan-Indian identity.
