1) The video calls Tecumseh a “visionary.” What was his vision? (Note that here we’re talking about Tecumseh – not his brother, the prophet.)

2) From what you learned in the video, how would you describe Tecumseh’s personality? (Hint: “Even his enemies admired him.”)

5) Thomas Jefferson was looking for an “empire of liberty.” What did this empire require, and how does this present a problem for the natives?

6) Why was Tecumseh convinced that the “Indian way of life was dying”? (Think of specific ways in which Native American life was disrupted.)
