Indiana Indian Day to apologize to Native American Indians

Hoosiers are invited to join students, county historians, Mennonites, Catholics and others to attend Indiana Indian Day to apologize to Native American Indians on Saturday, April 22, in Rochester, Ind. The apology is especially directed toward two tribes who were driven out of Indiana at gunpoint: the Potawatomi in September 1838 on what is now called the Trail of Death and the Miami in October 1846. Members of both tribes will attend this event in Rochester to tell their stories.

All are invited to St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1310 Main Street, Rochester, at 2 p.m. on April 22.
