4.0 out of 5 stars Indian Wars of the Old Northwest, May 9, 2001

By	Matthew S. Schweitzer "zohoe" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was excited when I saw this TV adaptation of James Alexander Thom's historical novel "Panther in the Sky". I have had an avid interest in American frontier history and the indian wars of the Old Northwest. The story of Tecumseh and his indian confederacy is one of great triumph and tragedy for the last of the tribes east of the Missisiippi river in the early 19th century. It is amazing to me how much we are NOT taught about the very bloody conflicts between the native tribes and white settlers that took place in the areas that make up modern-day Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Tecumseh was considered by many, indian and white alike, to be the greatest native resistance leader of all time. While I was pleased with many aspects of this movie, I was disappointed in several historical errors. I understand that when adapting history to film it is neccessary to fudge some things for dramatic intensity, but it can be annoying nonetheless. Overall, I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good movie about a great leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tecumseh: The Last Warrior, May 5, 2002

By	Patricia O. Soto (Rio Grande City, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

As an educator, I strongly recommed the film Tecumseh: The Last Warrior because it is one of its kind in bringing into action the cultural beliefs and way of life of Native American groups such as the Shawnee, who were affected by the clash of cultures and seizure of their ancestoral lands by whites. I use the film as a reward for the students who have studied federal policies toward the Native Americans including those of our past presidents and view points of Native Americans such as Tecumseh, who fought hard to drive the whites out of their lands in the Ohio, Illinois, and other present day states that were organized under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Organized under Tecumseh, native groups resisted to further white expansion and fought hard to preserve their way of life. This film is accurate in depicting Native American stuggles and sufferings and I truly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see movie!, July 15, 2000

By	Mary (Javksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I recommend this movie to everyone. It really focuses on every little detail of Tecumseh's life. It takes you back into time and allows you to see how the Shawnee people lived and what they went through with the whites, first hand. It tells the story of the legend we know as Tecumseh perfectly. It is a must see for everyone!
