2009 Cornell Native American Alumni Association (CNAAA) Reunion Iroquois Social

The American Indian Program (AIP) and the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future (CCSF) are pleased to co-sponsor the 2009 Cornell Native American Alumni Association (CNAAA) Reunion Iroquois Social in celebration of the vital role of indigenous peoples in sustainability. Please join us at the Social at Bailey Hall Square, Cornell University. Indigenous peoples have been implementing the principle of sustainability for millennia. Here, among New York’s Finger Lakes, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) peoples, who cared for the region before Cornell, live by the principle: In every decision we must consider the impact on the seventh generation. As New York State’s land grant university for over 140 years, Cornell respects this ethic as a way to make the Big Red and Planet Earth places where all generations can prosper.
