Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Native Americans of East-Central Indiana

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. - July 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Native Americans of East-Central Indiana

Local author, Chris Flook, will be available to sign copies of book

Native Americans lived, hunted and farmed in east-central Indiana for two thousand years before the area became a part of the Hoosier State. Mounds and enclosures built by Adena and Hopewell peoples still stand near the White River and reflect their vibrant and mysterious cultures. The Lenape tribes moved to east-central Indiana many years later after the Northwest Indian War. Led by the great chiefs Buckhongehelas and Kikthawenund, the White River Lenape attempted to forge an identity after being forced from their homeland on the Atlantic coast. Place names like Delaware County, Muncie, Yorktown and Anderson demonstrate the importance of the tribe in local history. Author Chris Flook explores the unique yet often untold history of the Native experience in east-central Indiana.

Highlights from the book include:

· Several drawings, sketches and paintings were commissioned for this book, featuring never before seen historical events.

· The book includes a comprehensive and unique history of the Lenape/Delaware in east-central Indiana.

· Images include never before seen photos of pre-European contact Native American artifacts.
