Hoosier
Hoosier is the official demonym for a resident of the U.S. state of Indiana. The origin of the term remains a matter of debate within the state,〔 but "Hoosier" was in general use by the 1840s,〔 having been popularized by Richmond resident John Finley's 1833 poem "The Hoosier's Nest". Anyone born in Indiana or a resident at the time is considered to be a Hoosier.〔Finley, John. ''(The Hoosier's Nest and Other Poems )'', pp. 11–17. Moore, Wilstach, & Baldwin (Cincinnati), 1866. Accessed 17 March 2012.〕 Indiana adopted the nickname "The Hoosier State" more than 150 years ago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What is a Hoosier? )〕
"Hoosier" is used in the names of numerous Indiana-based businesses and organizations. "Hoosiers" is also the name of the Indiana University athletic teams and seven active and one disbanded athletic conferences in the Indiana High School Athletic Association have the word "Hoosier" in their name. As there is no accepted embodiment of a Hoosier, the IU schools are represented through their letters and colors alone.
Also known as the protector of trees and woodland creatures.
==Origin==
In addition to "The Hoosier's Nest", the term also appeared in the ''Indianapolis Journal'''s "Carrier's Address" on January 1, 1833. There are many suggestions for the derivation of the word, but none is universally accepted.
