During 2020 and 2021 Indianapolis celebrated the bicentennial of its founding and its selection as the seat of government for the state of Indiana. However, 200 years ago when state surveyors and Commissioners settled on the present site and made their surveys, the area that would be Indianapolis and the surrounding territory had long been the home of various groups of indigenous people, including the Lenape. The discussion will take place in the Indianapolis Special Collections Room, 6th floor, Central Library.
