The pass's own accounting, November 2026
No item in this town's record passes all three tests, and that is this section's finding. Stated with its boundaries, so no later hand inflates or understates it: the search covered the official classes the discipline admits — the state's orders and examinations of the town, the county's election and roster record, and the paper of record's coverage of the town across the passes of this build — and it produced exactly the candidates above. Two classes of material were excluded by the discipline itself, and the exclusions print so they are not mistaken for findings. The town's great gaps — the unrecovered incorporation instrument, the unexplained name — are not controversies: nobody is recorded contesting them; they are absences in the record, owned by the Story of Indian Village section and tribes files as gaps with named settlers. And the township's genuinely contested history — the fights of the county's larger places, in which this town's ground sometimes stands as geography — belongs to those places' files under the boundary rule, and is not imported here to fill an empty leg. What Indian Village's record holds, at the end of the test, is a town too small and too quiet in print to have generated a documented public fight in the twenty-five years of its reachable record: a state restriction nobody disputed, and two acts of interlocal government everybody in the record agreed to. If a fuller record — a court file, a contested hearing, an examination finding with a response — ever lands, the candidate it documents enters this section through the same three tests, rerun whole. Until then the leg stands as the tests leave it: run, documented, and empty.
