The Dutch and the Indians had different concepts of land ownership. The Dutch viewed land as a commodity that could be bought and sold, while the Indians believed in communal ownership where land could be used but not owned. This led to misunderstandings and conflicts over land sales and purchases.

The short answer... The White man was selling off the Indian territories. There were some tribes that were selling their land to the White armies and not all the Native Americans agreed it was theirs to give. The land didnt belong to one tribe or another, and you can't sell land that isn't yours. This was going on for awhile and Tecumseh along with other Indians decided that it was time to fight for the land that was rightfully theirs. So he banded together other Indian nations to unite against the Westward expansion which was pushing the Indians out of their land.
