Tecumseh’s Curse: There was a deep mystical tradition among the Shawnee
Indians of the Ohio valley, embodied in the teachings and practices of a sage
called "the Prophet," emboldened by his brother, the great Chief Tecumseh.
Tecumseh felt that all Indians were one people, and insisted that only with the
consent of all — could land rightly be ceded by or purchased from an individual
tribe. For several years, he successfully journeyed from tribe to tribe, working
with Indians of all sections to secure their cooperation in this great work of
unification. Tecumseh was a daring visionary -- a powerful orator, remarkable
military chief, successful negotiator, and enthusiastic leader. Indeed, the
flame of hatred for the white man burned in his heart, and he swore eternal
vengeance against the white race for decimating his proud nation.
When the United States refused to recognize
Tecumseh’s unification principle, he bound together the Native Americans of the
Old Northwest, the South, and the Eastern Mississippi Valley as a military force
to defend Native American rights to the land. His plan failed with the defeat of
his brother, the Shawnee Prophet, at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Although
history reports the battle of Tippecanoe a draw, it nevertheless broke the power
of the Shawnee, and became known historically as marking the collapse of the
Native American military movement. Legend transmits that after the historic battle
of Tippecanoe, Tecumseh released prisoners with a prophetic message for General
William Henry Harrison -- a prophecy that has come to be known as -- "Tecumseh's
Curse." "'Harrison will win next year to be the Great Chief….... He will die in
his office….. I who caused the Sun to darken and Red Men to give up
firewater tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every Great
Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let
everyone remember the death of our people." Indeed, in 1841, President William Henry Harrison died of Pneumonia, and for 140
years every President elected every 20 years died in office ...

Anthony North: One area of spirituality often ignored by the wider world is the Native American. The Native American mystic is often known as the Medicine Man, principally because of his power to heal, but also to communicate with the supernatural. A continuation of the early shaman, endemic to most tribal societies, he also bears many similarities to the guru. The ‘Medicine Man" most likely survived from before the migrations across the Bering Strait over twenty thousand years ago. Mystical app...The Bourne Stone Mystery
It was found in the foundation of a Wampanoag house around 1800. In 1930, it was moved to the reconstruction of the Aptucxet Trading Post, the first commercial business in what is now the United States. Other than that, there are few facts available. It's a 200 pound stone that has moved around a bit. Some say it was once the threshold of an Indian church, although the inscriptions were buried so as not to spook the Indians. "Experts" claim the writings are from: Vikings (of course),...A Quillayute Legend
The Quillayute is a Chimakoan tribe living
along the Quillayute River, a six-mile river on the Olympic Peninsula. The
fishing village of Lapush is at its mouth.
These stories are adapted from Indian
Legends of the Pacific Northwest by Ella E. Clark, University of California
Press, 1953.
Long ago, there was a sad time in the
land of the Quillayute. For days and days, great storms blew. Rain and hail and
then sleet and snow came down upon the land. The hailstones were so large t...Submarine to Search for Early Americans
When humans first trekked from Asia to North America, perhaps as long as 25,000 years ago, the continent was gripped by ice sheets and glaciers. Those hardy immigrants probably traveled by boat or along the shore, where finding food and shelter would have been easier. The trouble for archaeologists is that as the ice melted, the seas rose and covered any traces of this early migration. Now marine geologists and archaeologists are hunting for underwater clues in the Gulf of Mexico.This mo...Tooth marks link Vikings, Indians
A scientist who found deep grooves chiselled into the teeth of dozens of 1,000-year-old Viking skeletons unearthed in Sweden believes the strange custom might have been learned from aboriginal tribes during ancient Norse voyages to North America -- a finding that would represent an unprecedented case of transatlantic, cross-cultural exchange during the age of Leif Ericsson. The marks are believed to be decorations meant to enhance a man's appearance, or badges of honour for a group of great ...Truth Emerges About Quicksand
Scientists have given the lie to the hoary scene in Westerns in which a cowboy slowly drowns in quicksand or alternatively is cast a lifeline by a buddy and gets hauled to safety. Physicists in the Netherlands built a miniature quicksand in their lab, mixing up fine sand, clay and saltwater. They discovered that quicksand becomes more viscous very slowly: it takes days for the substance to become progressively more toffee-like inconsistency. On the other hand, it loses this viscosi...Native American Mythology
Many Native American myths could equally be
called folktales: they seem to be about ordinary people, not gods. However, the
Native American attitude is that everything is animated by divinity. Hence
ordinary people, animals and places are divine. Often the people are not even
named, or are given a convenient tag, such as Rabbit Boy – raised by rabbits.
Nor is there much attempt to characterize them. Universal principles are held to
be more important than individual traits.Whereas G...Americas settled 15,000 years ago
A consensus is emerging in the highly contentious debate over the colonization of the Americas, according to a study that says the bulk of the region wasn"t settled until as late as 15,000 years ago. Researchers analyzed both archaeological and genetic evidence from several dozen sites throughout the Americas and eastern Asia for the paper. "In the past archaeologists haven"t paid too much attention to molecular genetic evidence," said lead author Ted Goebel, an archaeologist at Texas A&M Univer...
