Residents of Indiana are fortunate to have a rich legacy from the Native American Indians, the First People to live and work in the state.  Sometimes Indian contributions are just a passing reference in history books but the fact is that Indian People were, and still are, important participants in the culture and history of Indiana.

From the Shawnee Indians in the southeast of Indiana, to the Potawatomi in the north, Indiana's Indian nations and tribes of Indiana lived throughout the states' beautiful, rivers, lakes and valleys. Miami Indians occupied the center of the state, and their close relatives, the Weas and Piankashaws continue to live nearby.  Delaware, or the Lenni Lenape, moved into Indiana in the 18th century, and there were other settlements of Indians in Indiana who were removed here before the American Revolution.  In the modern period, there are several Indian nations and tribes who make Indiana their home, along with a host of Indian and inter-tribal organizations.
