Indiana

One of the perhaps most overlooked states is Indiana, located in the Great Lakes and Midwestern areas of North America. This can all change with Photowall's Indiana canvas prints. TheRead more state's capital is also featured in this category of Indiana canvas prints. If you are wondering about the state name, it is actually quite obvious. The name "Indiana" means "the Indian Land" and it was occupied by varying cultures of historic Native Americans and indigenous people for thousands of years! Also known as the "Hoosier State", there is quite the contention when it comes to tracing the origins of that particular nickname. Nonetheless, if you even say the word Hoosier to an American who might be admiring your Indiana canvas prints, they will immediately know what you are talking about. One very interestingly theory though is that Hoosier stems from the necessary warning calls you used when approaching a house on the frontier back in the day. The Indiana pioneers used the phrase "Who’s here?" as a warning when they heard someone in the bushes or as a form of greeting, which eventually progressed into Hoosier and so on. It will be fun to bring this up when having visitors over in your space, beguiled by your own Indiana canvas prints. As per usual, you can alter your selected items to complement your existing interior design and colour schemes.
