Indiana State Awards
Honorary award created by the U.S. state of Indiana / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indiana has long honored exceptional Hoosiers and contributors to the state. The Governor can bestow four types of Hoosier Awards: the Sagamore of the Wabash, the Circle of Corydon, the Distinguished Hoosier, and the Honorary Hoosier. Given sparingly at the Governor's discretion, these awards celebrate individuals who have significantly impacted their communities or the state at large. A fifth accolade, the Sachem Award, stands as the state's highest honor and is granted only once a year.
