3 Famous Shawnee

The Shawnee leader Tecumseh, with his brother Tenskwatawa, attempted to unite the eastern tribes against expansion of white settlement. This alliance was broken up by the Americans, leading to the Shawnee's expulsion to Oklahoma.

Weyapiersenwah, also known as Blue Jacket, was another Shawnee leader, and predecessor to Tecumseh. Weyapiersenwah surrendered to "Mad" Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. He was forced to sign the Treaty of Greenville, ceding much of Ohio to the Americans.

Blue Jacket's most prominent predecessor was Cornstalk, who led the Shawnee in Dunmore's War, and attempted to keep the Shawnee neutral in the American Revolutionary War.
