	Tecumseh falls short of dream of tribal unification, Indian purity
		His name was Tecumseh, meaning the "panther passing across," in token of a meteor his father saw on the night of his birth in 1768, in the village of Chalahgawtha, near present-day Xenia, Ohio.
		Tecumseh and his emotionally unstable brother, Tenskwatawa, also known as The Prophet, urged Indians to stop using whites' goods and to return to bow-and-arrow hunting, stone tools and earthenware pots, native religion, no intermarriage with whites and no more use of alcohol, which had become the great scourge of many tribes.
		A key part of Tecumseh's strategy was to use his brother to announce "visions" that Tecumseh actually devised, so that Tenskwatawa would appear to be the chief spiritual leader of the movement, while Tecumseh concentrated on political and war planning.
