[Tecumseh (a true hero) was trying to join all the native tribes together to fight the Americans who were pushing the natives out and slaughtering them in raids. It was more an 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' deal. But the British did abandon Tecumseh in the end ( due to poor leadership - Brock had already been killed), and in the Treaty of Ghent the British gave the US lands which they had promised the natives (most of what is now Michigan).
Yes, it was supposed to be like the Natives own personal country or province within Canada for themselves, a nice idea but it would have been taken away in time from them in the end i believe, just can't see all the settlers bypassing the whole state of Michigan.
