Indiana Library and Historical Board Policy
On Historical Marker Applications Related to or about American Indian Tribes
It will be the policy of the Indiana Historical Marker Program that whenever marker prospectuses/applications are received that are related to or about American Indian tribes:
- the IHB will contact the relevant tribal authorities or elders to indicate that the prospectus/application has been received;
- ask for comments about the prospectus/application; and
- ask for comments on the final text.
As with any marker, official communication about the prospectus/application is between the IHB and the applicant who submits the prospectus/application, and the final authority for the disposition of the marker and its text lies with the Indiana Library and Historical Board upon the recommendation of the Marker Advisory Committee.
