Today I stumbled across the Tecumseh poem and have enjoyed learning more about this iconic leader.<\/p>\n

Chief Tecumseh was a Native American Shawnee warrior, rising to power in the early 19th century.<\/p>\n

He’s one of the most celebrated Native American leaders in history after envisioning the development\u00a0of an independent\u00a0Native American nation.<\/p>\n

Along\u00a0with his confederation, he fought the United States in Tecumseh’s War before siding with Great Britain.<\/p>\n

He was known both for his daring and his strong oratory<\/a>, which assisted his attempts to promote tribal unity.<\/p>\n

Since his death in 1813, he’s become somewhat of a folk hero. Read more about him here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the Tecumseh poem, popularised by the 2012 film, Act of Valor.<\/p>\n

The Tecumseh Poem<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“So live your life\u00a0that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
\n<\/span>Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view,\u00a0<\/span>and demand that they respect yours.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
\n<\/span>Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
\n<\/span>Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.<\/span>
\nShow respect to all people and bow to none.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.<\/span>
\nIf you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.<\/span>
\nAbuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
\n<\/span>
\nSing your death song and die like a hero going home.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
