Synopsis:
This is a romantic and freely adapted biography of an historical figure, the Indian chief Tecumseh, who lived in the early 19th century. He was a member of the Shawnee tribe and according to this film he was raised by a white family with the surname McKew. Americans, led by Governor Harrison, are doing everything in their power to appropriate the Indians’ land, and Tecumseh decides to stop them. He unites the Indian tribes and reaches an agreement by which all the chiefs agree not to sell their land.
