Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogohó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogohó꞉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. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogohó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogohó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters. This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogohó꞉nǫ' leadership.
As Cornell University engineers, we remember that our access to education is only made possible by the land on which Cornell University stands.
