Indiana. The state's name means Indian Land or Land of the Indians, named so for the Indian tribes that lived there when white settlers arrived. While its meaning might be simple enough, the way it got the name is a little more interesting.
President Asks Congress to Lift the Embargo Against Cuba. President Obama asked Congress to begin to lift the embargo against Cuba during the State of the Union address this evening. In Cuba, we are ending a policy that was long past its expiration date.
In July 1963 the US placed into effect an embargo against Cuba. It is illegal for a business to do any type of business with a Cuban company and illegal for individuals to travel to Cuba with special permission for the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets and Control (OFAC).f you are a Canadian, there are NO sanctions against Cuba.

This ban has been in effect since the Bay of Pigs since President Kennedy was in office.
