OUT OF PLACE, BURIED NOT FAR UNDERNEATH

I have always had a big ‘ol crush on Tehcumseh. Though Shawnee himself, Tehcumseh lead an enormous pan-Indian movement against the assimilation, disease, and dispossession perpetrated against tribes in Colonial times.

He is truly an amazing, heroic figure, and one worth crushing.

If you’re interested in learning more about Tecumseh and his life, I encourage you to watch the segment of PBS’s series, We Shall Remain, devoted to Tecumseh:  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/weshallremain/the_films/episode_2_trailer

I love him too and his name is so fun to say!
