The Shawnee chief and warrior Tecumseh came to prominence leading an Indigenous alliance against the United States in a war waged from 1811 to 1815. The movement was timely because President Thomas Jefferson's "Hammer" in the West, William Henry Harrison, was in the midst of imposing treaties on the Indians that by 1809 would compel them to surrender more than 70,000 square miles of territory in the Old Northwest and beyond the Mississippi River. In 1805, Tecumseh's younger brother Lalawethika (soon to take the name Tenskwatawa) had had a vision for an Indian revitalization movement that would restore native culture and resist American expansion.
Tenskwatawa's revitalization movement drew support from Indigenous peoples across the Old Northwest and into the Great Plains, and having become the most powerful spiritual leader in the region, he was now referred to as "The Prophet."To
