Work Description
These Lands Are Ours discusses the life of the Shawnee warrior, orator and leader who united a confederacy of Indians in order to save Indian land from the advance of white soldiers and settlers.
This biography focuses on Tecumseh’s struggle to enlist support from the tribes against the “Long Knives” and to reclaim the American Indian lands lost in the signing of the unfairly negotiated Fort Wayne Treaty. The defeat of Tecumseh’s followers in the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, and the subsequent destruction of his people’s village, Prophetstown, were setbacks from which Tecumseh barely recovered. Tecumseh was killed while fighting against the Americans in the War of 1812, and with him died his unrealized dream—to unite all American Indian tribes. The afterword explains to young readers the use of dialogue in the biography, and presents the notes documenting details presented in the book.
