Many symbols resemble Tecumseh's characteristics.

Money represents Tecumseh because money is a very important thing in this world just as important as Tecumseh was to the Native Americans.

A mountain represents Tecumseh because Tecumseh was a great leader and showed great leadership. To me a mountain is a tall symbol of leadership mainly because it is very tall.

A spear represents Tecumseh because Tecumseh was often in warfare. For example, the War of 1812.

A sand castle represents Tecumseh because Tecumseh was very brave to stand against the large "tide" of white settlement just as a sand castle would stand against a wave of water which could easily destroy the sand castle.

Many movies, songs, books, etc. represent Tecumseh.
