The Shawnee Prophet by R. David Edmund is a book to tell the story of Tenskwatawa’s life and the way he believed he was leading his people, the Shawnee. Edmund researched a lot about the Shawnee people and why the Shawnee Prophet was the leading figure. I think one of the main themes from this book is the importance of Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh to the Shawnee people. Tenskwatawa, formally known as Lalawethika was a drunk until he was in a coma and when he woke up he believed he seen a vision. And the Shawnees viewed him as a prophet. He believed he could unite the Indians into an intertribal confederacy, and that the Indians should not have any relationships with the Americans. The book shows the reasons why Tenskwatawa was against the Americans, he was a leader of the Indian…

Throughout both the book The Shawnee Prophet and the movie, Last of the Mohicans, we see a few very similar themes displayed and some differences shown throughout each as well. As we read The Shawnee Prophet we see the racial conflict between the two opposing sides and how this causes struggles throughout the novel. Along with that, we see the westward movements of whites into the Natives territory. In both the movie and the novel, we see the way the Indians play the Whites in order to gain a…

The Shawnee Indian tribe originated in the Tennessee region. They migrated to many other parts of America including Pennsylvania. They adopted lifestyles that were best suited for the regions that they lived in. Many of the Shawnee tribes lived in Wigwams which was a temporary shelter that are small cone-shaped houses made of wooden frames with arched roofs. Some wigwams were covered with buffalo hides if they were available in the area. The Shawnee tribes in Pennsylvania ate fish and game…

given the chance to follow your curiosity, would you leave everything behind? The answer for a young Marmaduke Van Swearingen was yes.

The Swearingen children had a first hand account with the biased attitudes and expiernces possessed by the white settlers in North America, but Marmaduke seemed…

For this week’s forum I decided to research the Shawnee and Chickasaw American Indian Tribes due to the fact these particular tribes populated both areas the paternal and maternal sides of my family originated from. The Shawnee tribe mainly populated Northeast areas such as Ohio and Indiana. Their culture was based on a village lifestyle where farming and hunting were done by the men of the tribe while the women focused on household chores and took to pottery. The homes were round in shape and…

Shawnee Country Club, located on the east side of town, is a quiet and beautiful place. The “Country Club” is a place where I spend most of my time. The smell of fresh cut grass, and the sounds of purely struck golf shots are what makes this place what it is. Over the course of my daily trips to the Country Club, I realized that this place holds a lot of good and bad times for the golfers. Not only are there sounds of purely struck golf shots, but also groans of frustration coming from the…

The last great bluff mentioned in part one of this article—that of tricking a superior force into surrendering—has been used many times. In 1812, the British force aligned with Shawnee warrior Tecumseh took Fort Detroit using about the same tactic. In fact, military history is full of tales of bluff and trickery. Here’s a few more tasty tidbits of military lore. Taking a Bridge by Charm Alone What can a insouciant saunter and larding on the charm get you? Here’s how two of Napoleon’s finest…

matured as an administrator and learned from my past experiences, I believe that I am much better at narrowing down the list of initiatives that I want my staff to work on. This laser like focus compliments the beliefs of Reeves but also falls in line with renowned educators such as Richard DuFour and Robert Eaker. In their book, Professional Learning Communities at Work, schools must limit and control the number of initiatives if they are going to make substantive progress (DuFour & Eaker, pg.…

tribes: Shawnee and Miami. Because the Shawnee Indians were assimilated into the Cherokee Nation, I am also a Cherokee.

They had a son, my Great Grandfather, Burnie Gordon Gamble, who is documented as having 7/8 Degree Shawnee (Mixed Blood).…
