What was prophetstown in 1812?

Prophetstown was a Native American village founded by Shawnee leader Tecumseh and his brother, Tenskwatawa, also known as the Prophet, in the early 1800s near the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers in present-day Indiana. It served as a center for their efforts to unite various tribes against the encroachment of American settlers. The village gained prominence during the War of 1812, particularly following the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison clashed with Native American warriors. Prophetstown symbolized Native American resistance and the struggle to preserve their lands and cultures during a time of significant upheaval.


What was the Shawnee capital near the Battle of Tippecanoe?

The settlement near the Tippecanoe Battlefield was called Prophetstown, after the Prophet (Tenskwatawa), half-brother of Tecumseh and spiritual leader of the movement. Prophetstown was destroyed the day after the battle, and its people (including women and children) scattered. Prophetstown has been rebuilt, as a living laboratory to study early American life.
