Tecumseh explained his views in a letter to William Henry Harrison in 1810:. . .the only way to stop this evil [white settlement of the Indians' land], is for all the red men to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land as it was at first, and should be now---for it never was divided, but belongs to all. . . .Sell a country!
