No carrier gives any origin for the modern town name "Indian Village" — no plat note, no local-history explanation, no marker text was returned by any search — and the official modern carriers for the town, the Board of Accounts' examinations among them, treat it purely as a modern Indiana municipality and make no Indigenous-site or name-origin claim of any kind. The name therefore prints in this build as an unexplained modern name. The Indigenous names the valley record does carry belong to their own places — Mish-she-wa-ko-kink at Mishawaka, the Parkovash reach at the bend, the Bertrand and Pokagon village country at the river's Michigan reach, Chichipe Outipe unlocated — and none is transferred onto this ground. Any future statement that the town is named for a village on its site would be a claim with no carrier, and must not print as fact; if an origin exists in the fuller record — a recorded plat above all — it will print when a carrier carries it.
