  The State of Indiana owes this man a thank you for the brilliant and informative videos he produces. I’m a fellow Hoosier myself and I’m grateful for the knowledge and look forward to seeing more of my home state based on your recommendations. Thank you Roger!

  I have learned more Indiana history in the past hour than I did in the thirty three years that I lived in Indiana.

  Roger this video is excellent. My friend Kenny Hochsang is one of the foremost experts on the Native American culture in southern Indiana. He used to work with the archeologists. He taught me a lot about the native Americans. I have been to many of these places. I’m sensitive to the spirit realm. I can tell you that many of these places you spoke of the spirits are still there.

  These video's need to be in every state history class here. I've lived here all of my life except for 4 years; most of that time has been within 10 minutes of Mounds State Park. Thank you for these awesome video's!!

  Loved this video Roger. Indiana is such a beautiful state. My heart has always been broken because of how the indigenous people were treated 😞

  I’ve never heard speculation that the Lenape were in anyway directly related to the mound builders before, but it’s something I will seriously look into! I don’t think it’s valid considering the Lenape were held in high regard as the “ancient ones” who were the first to settle the East Coast, though their own oral tradition tells of a people who they encountered on the Susquehanna that ultimately amalgamated with them and continued east.<br><br>However, the Rosenkrans site in New Jersey is thought to be an Adena outpost based on the copper artifacts found, the style of the burials &amp; the hill overlooking the site is a natural mound that towers over the Delaware River.

  I wish you had been my Indiana history teacher. None of this was mentioned in my school. I am Cherokee; 1/4 paternal and 1/16th maternal. Nothing was mentioned about my ancestors except that my dad&apos;s ancestors had to walk The Trail of Tears. &nbsp;Thank you for sharing. Again, as always, great job.

  I really enjoy all of Rogers videos but this one i really was drawn into and felt a connection to. &nbsp;I listened to and my Hoosier mother watched this and many other Roger videos today on my way home to Florida from Orange county Indiana and on the way there. &nbsp;My grandparents were both born in the late 1920s and raised and lived their whole lives on the same road near Paoli. &nbsp;Papaw was red skinned and looked very &quot;indian&quot; but the one time i asked him what tribe we decended from he just kinda chuckled and said &quot;I don&apos;t know&quot; like he had never even thought about it. &nbsp;He was just Indiana bred with ancestors since before it was a state. &nbsp;But i really enjoyed learning and watching this with my mother, and i truly appreciate and enjoy all of Rogers videos. &nbsp;Thank you!
