Tecumseh: "Once a Happy Race" Early in the 19th century, Governor William Henry Harrison of the Indiana Territory made a number of treaties with Native Americans that involved the ceding of land to the United States government. Shawnee chief Tecumseh attempted to prevent the loss of additional lands by forming an alliance of tribes and asserting that one tribe could not cede land without the permission of all the others. In 1810 Tecumseh spoke to Harrison in Vincennes, Indiana, denouncing the most recent treaty and declaring that white people had no right to take land from the Indians.
