Summary:

Native Americans lived, hunted and farmed in east-central Indiana for two thousand years before the area became a part of the Hoosier State. Flood explores the unique yet often untold history of this Native experience. He examines the pre-European cultures that existed, and then focuses on post-European contact with indigenous cultures in the same area.
