Tecumseh’s Vision recreates the story of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet. After the American Revolution, the Prophet led a spiritual revival movement that drew thousands of followers from Indian nations across the Midwest of the United States. His brother forged a pan-Indian political and military alliance from that movement to forge an independent Indian state.
Colin G. Calloway (Dartmouth College), a consultant on the film, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
