Tenskwatawa (the Prophet)
1775 CE–1836 CE · Shawnee country (Ohio)
Tenskwatawa, known as the Shawnee Prophet, was a religious leader in the Ohio Valley in the early 1800s. After a transformative vision, he preached a revival calling Native peoples to reject European goods and customs and return to traditional ways, drawing followers from many nations to the settlement of Prophetstown. His teachings gave a spiritual foundation to the political and military confederacy led by his brother Tecumseh. His influence waned after the loss at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, and he died in 1836.
