IN HCR0045

Commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Tippecanoe, fought on November 7, 1811, near Battle Ground in Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

Recognizes the battle's foundational role in Indiana and national history, including its influence on the War of 1812 and Governor William Henry Harrison's political career.

Honors the early Hoosiers who died in the battle against Tecumseh's Confederacy, which was led by Shawnee brothers Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa.

Notes that following the battle's outcome, Tecumseh's Confederacy withdrew to Canada and Indiana was settled quickly enough to achieve statehood in 1816, only five years later.

Directs the Principal Clerk of the House to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Tippecanoe County Historical Association.
