Phewww!!!  That was complete guesswork David.  And what on earth is one of the great lakes doing anywhere near Indiana???  I've always thought it was much further south.  My answer for the indian tribes question is based solely on the fact one of the pups in my current litter is called Pawnee.  I have no idea if it is a tribe native to Indiana or not! LOL
