  • Q1
    Tecumseh: Great Leader Shawnee leader Tecumseh made a lasting impression on all who knew him. Some parts of his life are not known, because the only accounts of his life were written by white settlers. Tecumseh was born in the Shawnee village of Old Piqua, Ohio, in 1768. Tecumseh promoted unity among the Shawnee and other native peoples in the Great Lakes region. His father died during a battle with the “”Long Knives,” the name the Shawnee gave to white settlers. Tecumseh promised his father he would not make peace with the “Long Knives.” Tecumseh and his brother Laulewasika worked to unite Native Americans. They wanted to save their land and to renew their people’s traditions. A treaty was signed to give native land to U.S. settlers in 1795. Tecumseh didn’t recognize it. He said, “Sell the land? Why not sell the air, the clouds, and the great sea?” Tecumseh stood out among the leaders of his time. People remembered his concern for others, his strong moral character, and his sharing of game and other resources with those who were less fortunate. Tecumseh was killed fighting in the Battle of the Thames in Canada in 1813. 1. What would Tecumseh’s position be if the president of the United States decided to sell one of the Great Lakes to Canada?
    He would be for it, since most of the Great Lakes are polluted.
    He would be for it as long as Native Americans received some of the money.
    He would be against it. He didn't believe land or water could be sold.
    He would be against it. He thinks the U.S. should own as much as it can.
