    Who Do You Think You Are?  
 

The different ethnic groups that have played a part in the Hoosier state's heritage are explored in this exhibit. Using photographs, maps, statistics, and graphics drawn from the IHS's collections and from institutions around the state, the display examines such topics as how people immigrated to the United States and Indiana, why they did it, and where these people settled. It also looks at lighter subjects, such as how different ethnic groups celebrate their heritage. In the photo at right, for example, a group of young Hoosiers of Greek descent celebrate that country's independence by dressing in native style.

Requires at least 12 feet by 24 feet of floor space.
