Today (March 9) is the birthday of the Shawnee chief, Tecumseh (Shooting Star/Crouching Panther), born Chillicothe, Ohio, Kispoko sept, Panther clan. He was a brilliant war leader and politician. He also stopped the Shawnee from torturing people and was famed for his psychic abilities. On the day of his death, he announced he would die and went into battle, saying only a coward would shun battle.
