As a field and place-based program, we travel to and study many sites in the state of New York on the traditional homelands of the Haudenosaunee people. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on these lands. These are Onʌyoteˀa·ká·(Oneida), Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk), and Onoñda’gegá (Onondaga) Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ (Cayuga), Onöndowa’ga (Seneca), and Skarù:ręˀ (Tuscarora). The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Haudenosaunee dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection Haudenosaunee people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
