Tecumseh

By:Robert MangumEmily Xia

Known for their wood carving, pottery and intricate beadwork called "Wampum", the Shawnee were skilled artisans. Using the natural world around them, their traditional dwelling was a Wigwam made from treebark and they created dug-out canoes which helped them navigate the great lakes region.

The Shawnee hunted deer and wild turkey. They also were skilled fishermen and farmed primarily squash and corn.
