History

The Shawnee played significant roles in the historical interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. They were involved in various conflicts, including the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. Notable Shawnee leaders such as Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (The Prophet) led a pan-Indian resistance movement against American expansion in the early 19th century.
