Talk:History of Indianapolis

Racial relations
The name of this section should be changed. It doesn't actually go into race relations; it just implies that the KKK had something, presumably negative, to do with them. The section either needs examples of what the KKK did for racial relations (not just that they took control of the government), or the heading needs to be changed 69.12.143.197 16:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Lenape
The article says:
 * Founded in 1820, the area where the city now stands was originally home to the Lenape (Delaware Nation).

However, the article on the Lenape makes no mention of them living in the area of present-day Indianapolis, nor is there any mention in Lenapehoking. I'm not sure whether this article is wrong or the other two articles are incomplete; I just feel the contradiction should be resolved. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 11:47, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I recall having read that the Lanape (Delaware) had a "sugar camp" just south of what is now downtown Indianapolis. This would not have been a permanent settlement, but rather a temporary encampment to make syrup by tapping the sugar maple trees in the area. This may be what is being referred to. I'll try to find a source and edit the article accordingly. Indyguy (talk) 14:22, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
