Guns of August
From a living history event at Prophetstown, Indiana, October 2009.  Fred is briefly visible in a fur cap, wrapped in a black blanket, and Ross is briefly visible in a black and red frock on Levi.
 
The second day of the Prophetstown event.  This time Ross is very visible on Levi, in a maroon shirt and red bandana, wearing red and white face paint.  Rich Ferguson and Mike LeBlanc, interviewed in the clip, are both senior members of the Indiana Territorial Mounted Rangers, of which Ross is also a member.
 
Below is a link to a segment of WFYI's Across Indiana about Tecumseh that was filmed in part at the Prophetstown event.  Though he only has one line (taken from a good 45 minutes of footage done at the event) Ross is the only Shawnee who speaks in the entire clip, and he, Levi and his fellow reenactors lend authenticity to the segment. 
The first minute or so is about a couple and their travel trailer-be patient!
