Tecumseh

The video explores the story of Tenskwatawa, a Shawnee prophet, and his prediction of an eclipse in 1806. General William Henry Harrison challenged the prophet to prove his powers, which led to the eclipse event that inspired the Shawnee to resist colonists in the Battle of Tippecanoe and the War of 1812.
