Using Oracle, how can I find index names and creation dates from systables/information_schema?

How can I reproduce, from systables/information_schema, the DDL that created the index, e.g., create index indexname on tablename(column_name [, column_name....]) [local];

Query DBA_OBJECTS or ALL_OBJECTS for the creation date:

select created from dba_objects where object_type = 'INDEX' and object_name='XXX';
