One of the most legendary heros in Native American
history, Tekamthi, otherwise known by Whites as Tecumshe, asked
tribes across the land to band together in order to make a stand
toward protecting their lands.

Passing Across) Drawing by F. Brigden, 1790-1799 |

Tecumshe used both logic and emotion to lead and
unite the tribes, teaching the wisdom that "a single strand of
hair could easily be broken, but that many strands woven into an
organized braid were nearly unbreakable."
The tribal confederacy he built remains one of the
landmark successes in all American history.

Official Endorsement Form For TMP
- For Everybody
Endorsement
(Sorry, TMP does not pay for
endorsements. You either support the fight to help end racism for Native
Americans and to help celebrate Native people and cultures or you do not. If you
do support our efforts, you will need to send us a signed endorsement form (with
verification contacts) so we can list you on our website officially, otherwise,
the public may assume you don't support ending racism---we apologize, but due to
our efforts to remain open as possible on Twitter, we routinely let the public
know which celebrities have been officially invited to join the TMP
family.)
We encourage everyone with name-brand
recognition in all industries, not just Hollywood, to take a few moments and
send us an endorsement---it's quick, easy, and free---and it will help us to
help millions of Native people and children of the world find greater respect
and equality. -- Thank You!

*Terminology We
use the term Native American (NA) in the purely anthropological sense to
denote "aboriginal people of the Western Hemisphere," which includes a
wide variety of self-descriptive nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations
People and many others of the American continents and Pacific Island groups. When
more specific descriptions are used, they will include current country of origin
or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.). |
