Tecumseh quotes
Tecumseh was a renowned Shawnee leader and warrior who sought to unite Native American tribes against U.S. expansion. His vision of an independent Native nation inspired resistance across a vast territory. He gained legendary status for his leadership, diplomacy, and valor in the early 19th century. Here are 16 of his quotes:
Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
