On this episode of Unbound: A Collection of Indiana Stories, we are looking at the stories of people who chose to make Indiana their home. First, Regan looks at the history of Muslim immigrants in Indiana as far back as World War I and how they created flourishing communities in Indiana. Then, Casey revisits the tribulations Mexican immigrants faced as they were forced to repatriate from Northwest Indiana in the 1930s.
