Tenskwatawa

Tenskwatawa, (also called Tenskatawa, Tenskwatawah, Tensquatawa or Lalawethika) (1775 – November 1836) is a Native American religious and political leader of the Shawnee tribe, known as The Prophet or the Shawnee Prophet.

He is the brother of Tecumseh, leader of the Shawnee.

He was originally given the name Lalawethika (He Makes a Loud Noise or The Noise Maker).

He denounces Americans as children of the devil and mobilizes the Indians in the Midwest to fight them, but his movement is defeated in the War of 1812 when his brother is killed, and he fades away.
