Yes
Definition
Though definitions vary, any definition of the Midwest would include the Northwest Ordinance "Old Northwest" states and often includes many states that were part of the Louisiana Purchase. The states of the Old Northwest are also known as "Great Lakes states". Many of the Louisiana Purchase states are also known as Great Plains states. The Midwest is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as these 12 states:
Illinois: Old Northwest, Ohio River and Great Lakes state
Indiana: Old Northwest, Ohio River and Great Lakes state
Iowa: Louisiana Purchase
Kansas: Louisiana Purchase, Great Plains state
Michigan: Old Northwest, and Great Lakes state
Minnesota: Old Northwest, and Great Lakes state; western part Louisiana Purchase
Missouri: Louisiana Purchase, Border state
Nebraska: Louisiana Purchase, Great Plains state
North Dakota: Louisiana Purchase, Great Plains state
Ohio: Old Northwest (Historic Connecticut Western Reserve), Ohio River and Eastern Great Lakes state. Also a Northeastern Appalachian state in the SE.
South Dakota: Louisiana Purchase, Great Plains state
Wisconsin: Old Northwest, and Great Lakes state

Yeah. And the mid-east. I think the "mid-west" designation goes back 150 years to a time when Indiana was actually more "west" than "mid." When there were few states west of the Mississippi, Indiana was naturally considered mid-west.

Ohio considers itself midwest so I guess Indiana does also.
But my husband who is from South Dakota says that SD is midwest and Ohio and Indiana are East.

The important thing is how residents of the state describe it. As I live in Indiana, I can pretty much assure you that we are in the Midwest.
