The last half of the eighteenth century was a time of decline and retreat for the Native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands and Great Lakes region. Their world was one of endless warfare and ravaging disease. During this dark and tumultuous time a shining leader was born among the Shawnee. On the night he was born, in the spring of 1768, a brilliant comet trailed across the heavens. In honor of this celestial event, his father, Puckeshinwa named him "Panther Crossing The Sky" or in his native tongue Tecumseh.
