Tenskwatawa (c. 1768-c. 1835), the brother of Tecumseh, was born 
around 1768 in present-day Ohio. A member of the Shawnee tribe, 
Tenskwatawa was known as the Prophet after predicting a solar 
eclipse in 1806 and thereafter became heavily involved in his tribe's 
religion. In 1811, Tenskwatawa led an attack on the American army 
under William Henry Harrison at the battle of Tippecanoe. The battle 
ended in defeat for Tenskwatawa. His prestige was tarnished, and his 
Indian confederacy was ruined. After abstaining from the War of 
1812, Tenskwatawa settled in Canada and lived on a British pension 
before moving back to the United States in 1826. He died in the mid-
1830's.
