| | | | witch-hunt: Encyclopedia II - Tecumseh's War - Religious revival However, a nativist religious revival led by Tecumseh's brother Tenskwatawa ("The Prophet") emerged in 1805, posing a threat to the influence of the accommodationist chiefs. Tenskwatawa urged Indians to reject the ways of the whites, and to refrain from ceding any more lands to the United States.

Black Hoof was accused in the witch-hunt, but was not harmed. From his village at Greenville, Tenskwatawa also compromised Black ...
