It has been believed by some that Native American tribes had a presence in Indiana as early as 10,000 years ago. Radiocarbon dating, however, estimates that a tool artifact discovered by archaeologists from the University of Indianapolis actually dates back to 8,400 BC! This find supports the notion that humans migrated into that area even earlier than what was previously believed.

The tribes apparently fought over domination of the area for thousands of years. Finally, around 900 AD, an advanced Mississippian culture became dominant in that area, and they built very large cities for thousands of inhabitants. Strangely, the entire civilization disappeared for unknown reasons sometime in the fifteenth century. It wasn't until the 1670's that the history of that area began to be recorded, after the first Europeans came to claim it for France.
