Leaders->Shawnee: Brothers Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa (The Shawnee Profit)

The Shawnee Profit, brother of Tecumseh.. KEYWORDS: shawnee profit tecumseh shawnee leader shawnee religion Tenskwatawa Kumskaukau Sauwaseekau
Tenskwatawa was one of a set of triplets born a few years after Tecumseh. One triplet, Sauwaseekau, was killed at the Battle of Fallen Timbers; the second, Kumskaukau, may have died young, for there are no records of his life; and the third, who would eventually be known as Tenskwatawa, was a fussy baby who was given the name Lalawethika - He Makes a Loud Noise. Unlike Tecumseh, Lalawethika was a clumsy child who was woefully unskilled in hunting and would never become a warrior - a serious social handicap for a young man in Shawnee society. Lalawethika lost his right eye in an early hunting accident and, as he grew older, developed a fondness for whiskey and quickly degenerated into severe alcholism. Despite his flaws, Lalawethika was devoted to Tecumseh, and the older brother acted as his protector.
