The American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP) at Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) offers academic, student support, and outreach services focused on Indigenous-related studies. AIISP provides a unique combination of American Indian and Indigenous Studies courses, student leadership opportunities, and an undergraduate residential experience at Akwe kon, the first Native student residence hall in North America.
AIISP acknowledges the traditional homelands of the Gayogo h n the Cayuga Nation and the painful history of dispossession, while also emphasizing Cornell University's founding role in the national genocide through the sale of stolen Indian land under the Morrill Act of 1862. The program aims to foster Native student engagement through various programs, events, and community-building initiatives, creating a diverse and multifaceted environment for Indigenous students at Cornell.
