The Shawnee Chief Tecumseh's name is well known throughout the Great Lakes region, but what about the person and his enduring legacy?

Stateside explores the issue with the author of the most recent biography of the leader. We then speak with a member Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians for a native Michigan interpretation. 

Guests:

Peter Cozzens, historian, former diplomat and author of Tecumseh and the Prophet: the Shawnee Brothers Who Defied a Nation. 

Eric Hemenway, the director of archives and records for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and a member of the Michigan Historical Commission.
