Who are the 8.4% of my fellow Hoosiers who don't think they live in the midwest and where do they think they live?

    In the elementary school Indiana history class (4th grade) it was even a part of the curriculum* to learn where were are in the US.

    We were taught that the Northwest Territory became what is now called the Midwest (the area east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers).
