Tippecanoe is a river in the state of Indiana, in the United States, and the name of a battle fought near it in 1811. American soldiers led by William Henry Harrison fought the Shawnee, one of the Native American peoples of that area, who were resisting the taking of their land. Harrison's side claimed the victory, and the name stuck to him: people called him 'Tippecanoe' for the rest of his life. Years later, when he ran for president in 1840, his campaign used the slogan 'Tippecanoe and Tyler too' — Tyler being John Tyler, the man running as his vice president. That slogan is the reason the word survives in general English at all; it is remembered as one of the first catchy political slogans in American history, and history books quote it often. Harrison won the election and then died after only a month in office. So this is a name, not a normal word — you meet it in history writing, not conversation. If you see it in a reading test, it is almost certainly about the battle, the slogan, or the president's nickname. The name itself comes from the language of the Miami people who lived there; it is not English, and it is not related to the word 'canoe' even though the end of it looks that way.
