Show Notes
Today on Murderhobos: Tecumseh. The Shawnee diplomat, strategist and war chief, who built with his brother a powerful tribal confederacy centered around opposition to the expanding United States. Tecumseh's famous charisma and skillful leadership in the War of 1812 challenged racist assumptions of Indian manhood, American superiority, and came painfully close to derailing U.S. dominance of North America in the following decades. What can Tecumseh's life and untimely death tell us about the fragility of western colonial dominance, and the realities and plausibility of Indigenous resistence?
