Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans lived, hunted and farmed in east-central Indiana for two thousand years before the area became a part of the Hoosier State. Mounds and enclosures built by Adena and Hopewell peoples still stand near the White River and reflect their vibrant and mysterious cultures. The Lenape tribes moved to east-central Indiana many years later after the Northwest Indian War. Led by the great chiefs Buckhongehelas and Kikthawenund, the White River Lenape attempted to forge an identity after being forced from their homeland on the Atlantic coast. Place names like Delaware County, Muncie, Yorktown and Anderson demonstrate the importance of the tribe in local history. Author Chris Flook explores the unique yet often untold history of the Native experience in east-central Indiana.
Download or read book The Native Americans written by Elizabeth Glenn and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2009 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second volume of the IHS Press’s Peopling Indiana Series, anthropologist Elizabeth Glenn and ethnohistorian Stewart Rafert put readers in touch with the first people to inhabit the Hoosier state, exploring what it meant historically to be an Indian in this land and discussing the resurgence of native life in the state today. Many natives either assimilated into white culture or hid their Indian identity. World War II dramatically changed this scenario when Native Americans served in the U.S. military and on the home front. Afterward, Indians from many tribal lineages flocked to Indiana to find work. Along with Indiana's Miami and Potawatomi, they are creating a diverse Indian culture that enriches the lives of all Hoosiers.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book excerpt: The booklet opens with the Delaware Indians prior to 1818. White Americans quickly replaced the natives. Germanic people arrived during the mid-nineteenth century. African American indentured servants and free blacks migrated to Indianapolis. After the Civil War, southern blacks poured into the city. Fleeing war and political unrest, thousands of eastern and southern Europeans came to Indianapolis. Anti-immigration laws slowed immigration until World War II. Afterward, the city welcomed students and professionals from Asia and the Middle East and refugees from war-torn countries such as Vietnam and poor countries such as Mexico. Today, immigrants make Indianapolis more diverse and culturally rich than ever before.

Download or read book Greenwood written by Jim Hillman and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1813, in an area originally inhabited by Native Americans, including a significant Delaware Indian village located on White River's western banks, the future Greenwood was made safe for settlement by the Kentucky and Indiana militias. In 1818, with the New Purchase treaties and establishment of Whetzel Trace, the earliest east-west transportation route through central Indiana, the dense, overgrown forest became readied for settlement. Arising from humble beginnings as Smocktown, the community was officially named Greenfield in 1825, followed by renaming to Greenwood in 1833. The territory has seen tremendous growth through the decades since John B. and Isaac Smock arrived, transforming the land from a pioneer village into a contemporary hub of business and industry. Accused of being a "bedroom community" of Indianapolis, Greenwood strives to maintain its relevance as a unique and historically proud community.
Download or read book The Taming of the Wilderness written by Leon F. Hesser and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BROKEN, YET TRIUMPHANT reveals in fictional form the drama of family suspense in finding the brutally slain bodies of two dear friends (double-murder mystery). It incorporates private episodes that touch the heartstrings, including near death experiences, stolen property, and the fish-bowl existence of the Minister's home through the transparent heart of a Minister's wife. BROKEN, YET TRIUMPHANT, is a personal story of two people and their family as they walk together in the service of their Master - their conflicts and their strife - their tears and their heartaches - their joys and their victories, but always going onward and upward in their walk with the Lord. You will see their battles, their defeats, and their victories. Often what looks like defeat will be seen later to have been a positive victory. Deliverance was achieved from seemingly insurmountable odds. No one is an island to himself. Each one touches another. We help or hinder; bless or curse. A blazed trail offers assurance and encouragement. BROKEN, YET TRIUMPHANT is written to bless and help other pilgrims on their way to conformity and greater fruitfulness. Critically acclaimed by churchmen and editors as a dramatic account - glowing, revealing, and inspiring - this is a true story Frank N. McAllister (former superintendent), states in the Preface, "Thank God...as He made a way for the Andersons, He will make a way for you." SUNSHINE THROUGH CLOUDS - sequel to BROKEN, YET TRIUMPHANT. Other titles co-authored with Albert, are: WHITED SEPULCHRES and forthcoming 2001 sequel -- A GENERATION OF VIPERS.
