Thanks Andrew , I copied this to a separate thread.

For a summary:
In this article in the Oklahoma Gazette the devs talk about the challenges to get a voice actor for Tecumseh, how the voice actor Dillon Dean took this as a chance to investigate his native roots, and Chief Barnes explains that such projects are important to keep the language of the Shawnee alive.
