But first, Deep Dive:

This is Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We are looking into the Hoosier National Forest, and the Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area within it. Last week we explored recent legislation introduced by Senator Mike Braun which would expand the boundaries of the Wilderness Area. This week we dive deeper into the history of the land, and what it was before it was a wilderness area.

To learn more, we spoke with Indiana University Professor of History and Native American and Indigenous Studies, David Nichols.
