  2. “The being within, communing [communicating] with past ages, tells me that once, nor until lately, there was no white man on this continent; that it then all belonged to red men, children of the same parents, placed on it by the Great Spirit that made them, to keep it, to traverse [travel across] it, to enjoy its productions, and to fill it with the same race, once a happy race, “since made miserable by the white people who are never contented but always encroaching [invading]”- Tecumseh, 1810

  3. “If you have an idea of going away, give [your weapons] to us, and you may go and welcome. As for us, our lives are in the hands of the Great Spirit. We are determined to defend our lands, and if it be his will we wish to leave our bones upon them.”- Tecumseh, 1810
