The '''Battle of Tippecanoe''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|t|ɪ|p|i|k|ə|ˈ|n|uː}} {{respell|TIP|ee-kə|NOO|'}}) was fought on November 7, 1811 in [[Battle Ground, Indiana]] between American forces led by Governor [[William Henry Harrison]] of the [[Indiana Territory]] and forces associated with [[Shawnee]] leader [[Tecumseh]] and his brother [[Tenskwatawa]].

As tensions and violence increased, Governor Harrison marched with an army of about 1,000 men to attack the confederacy's headquarters at [[Prophetstown State Park|Prophetstown]], near the confluence of the [[Tippecanoe River]] and the [[Wabash River]].
