Programs focused on the themes of immigration and citizenship including a public conference, a reading and discussion program in libraries, a conference for K-12 teachers, online resources for teachers, and programming related to Picturing America.

The Indiana Humanities Council will sponsor We the People programs in 2008-2009 around the themes of immigration and citizenship. A public conference in fall 2008, a reading and discussion program, and a look back at Indiana's ethnic heritage will focus on immigration. The citizenship theme will be explored through a catalog of learning resources on post-war U.S. history, a teachers' conference, and a project using the "Picturing America" collection.
