Cornell University has a new land acknowledgment, stating that its Ithaca campus is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ , also known as the Cayuga Nation. The leadership of the traditional Gayogo̱hó:nǫ has endorsed the statement.
Faculty members, staff and students are encouraged to read the full acknowledgement at the beginning of gatherings and events and include it in websites, course syllabi and other materials. A pronunciation guide can be found on the website of Cornell’s American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP).
The land acknowledgement is:
“Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó:nǫ are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state and the United States of America.

How might the pandemic change social interaction between older adults, shift dynamics for immigrant workers and reshape local housing markets? How do gender disparities in pay vary across industrialized societies? And how quickly should you respond to that late email from a co-worker?
Those are some of the research questions Cornell faculty will pursue with the help of more than $271,000 in grants awarded this spring by the Cornell Center for Social Sciences (CCSS). The grants funded 19 proposals for studies and conferences involving more than 30 faculty members and researchers across campus.
Awarded each spring and fall, CCSS grants seek to promote interdisciplinary work, advance projects that are strong candidates for external funding and jump-start work by early-career faculty. The grants provide up to $12,000 for research projects, $5,000 for conferences hosted by Cornell and – new this spring – $30,000 for collaborations between members of the university’
