 Tecumseh, the legendary Shawnee leader, advocated unity among all Indian people. His dream was to create a coalition of tribes to form one unstoppable force. He worked to realize his goal by visiting as many Indian communities as he could, spreading his message with fiery speeches and traditional song and dance.
Filmmaker Conrad Brown hopes to help realize Tecumseh’s vision with a powerful new documentary, “The Shawnee Dance (Tecumseh’s Legacy).” Currently in pre-production, Brown hopes to gather as many Native nations as possible at the upcoming 95th Annual Meskwaki Indian Pow-Wow held at the Tama, Iowa, Meskwaki Nation Settlement from August 6-9, 2009.
