To support a teacher institute focused on curriculum resources for U.S. history from the founding period to the end of Reconstruction, and reading and discussion seminars on American founding principles for leaders in business, government, education, and nonprofit sectors.

The Indiana Humanities Council proposes two "We the People" projects. The first is a series of readings and seminars on founding documents and principles of the America that builds on the program offered last year at the 2004 Indiana Leadership Summit.
