Tecumseh: The Last Warrior 1995 pt. 1

Jesse Borrego is magnificent as the great Shawnee leader who united native peoples in resistance to white westward expansion in the early 1800's. Beautifully shot, great story and a wonderful film that deserves to be seen. Made by TNT for their "The Native Americans" series, available only on VHS tape. Note: Borrego appears as the adult Tecumseh briefly in the beginning of pt. 1, then pt. 4 onward.

I would like to, once in my life at least, meet a real Indian and be able to tell him face to face, how much it hurts me what the white men did to his nation in the past...! To me, everyone is equal regardless of their ethnic origin, race or religion. As I get to know about any injustice done to anyone, group or individual, I feel as if I could live it by myself - I feel compassion and strong solidarity with the suffering ones. I have a strong sense of justice, thanks God, so I respect Indians..

@goyavesETmangues Yeah Whites fucked up the New Zealanders, Native Americans, Hawaiians, South Americans (Genocide of the Tribes), and many millions of Africans. But don't forget dat Europeans have killed and enslaved each other the most. So It's not like all whites have saw eye to eye and conspired against other races together. Hell many whites couldn't even stand each other.It's also a true that many Natives joined white armies and fought against their own kind just like Africans.

The movie is not good. It does'nt put in relief the issues, it's sentimental hollywoodian in the bad sense of the term. It's not history. It was a condeferation of Indians who were in war. The before is not presented. The political issues of the conflict between UK and US.The picture lacks money. Poor figuration. It's just a drama searching to convey a human figure to Indians as if americans thought always they have not. A pity. Racism in film. Indians appear americanized heroes in a B film.

What else was in "The Native American" series?

[Monasukapanough]

@radiantnakashima The federal cherokee was actually pretty much the largest slave owners in american history.  They even recently broke the treaty of 1866 and kicked all their slave descendants out in the cold. Youtube search "cherokee freedman" and learn the truth.

[Monasukapanough]

@radiantnakashima If you wanted to stop slavery, driving out of indians, etc etc.. then you would of had to attack tribes such as the cherokee which had been doing this to other south eastern tribes for hundreds of years. These cherokee even try to do this today against all non federal native people. The northern indians have been enslaving southern indians .. stealing land.. and murdering southern tribes for hundreds and hundreds of years.

[Monasukapanough]

@Spawn86327 The native people who sided with the whites to attack other native people did so because those tribes had stolen their land before the whites got here and those tribes had been kidnaping us to sell us into slavery or just to kill us. so when the whites got here we sided with them to seek justice against the tribes that had stolen our lands such as the Cherokee who falsly claim our land as theirs and falsly claim our heritage as theirs.

[Monasukapanough]

@Monasukapanough ative = native... left off the n.

One of the biggest issues we face today is groups like the Federal cherokee which attacks eastern native descendants to this day and calls them fake indians simply because we signed our lands away to england, since our treaties was with england we are not able to get federal recognigtion. To this day not one tribe in virginia is federally recognized.

[Monasukapanough]

@aishakafeel Well the ative people was fighting and pushing each other off lands with each other since the start of tribes in america. We was not peace loving hippies by any means. Like even the Cherokee was actually from canada.. they pushed southward and pushed and killed many of the Native people off their lands. The Siouans was even pushed into virginia by groups like the cherokee. The creeks was pushed south by the cherokee also.
