A Crossroads of Nations - Talk and Panel Discussion

A Spirit and Place event presented by the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art and the Indiana Historical Society.

What is a treaty? This event explores the historic and contemporary impact of treaties between Great Lake Native nations and the U.S.

Indiana has a rich history predating its 1816 statehood. What is now known as Indiana was inhabited by tribal nations including the Miami, Potawatomi, Wea, Shawnee, Kickapoo and Delaware. Learn from a panel of experts, including Miami, Delaware and Potawatomi voices, on how the St. Marys Treaties of 1818 affected Indiana’s first peoples, the future settlement of their land, and how and why treaties are still relevant today.

Parking for FREE in the White River State Park underground parking garage off Washington St. when available.
