What defines a Yankee to you? Would that be someone from, say, Indiana?

Depends. Not all northerners by residence are yankees, though most yankees are northerners. Yankee is a characteristic defined by obnoxiousness, a tendency to shoot one's mouth off, and an habitual inclination towards interfering with the way other people from regions other than the north live their lives.
