American hunter accommodated in lodge (8)

I believe the answer is:

indianan

'american' is the definition.
(I know that Indianan is a type of american)

'hunter accommodated in lodge' is the wordplay.
'hunter' becomes 'Diana' (Roman hunting goddess).
'accommodated in' indicates putting letters inside.
'lodge' becomes 'inn' (synonyms).
'diana' going within 'inn' is 'INDIANAN'.

(Other definitions for indianan that I've seen before include "Local American" , "Mid-Westerner" , "American statesman" .)
