Cornell University and the Indigenous Dispossession Project
A website and recordings maintained by Cornell University’s American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP) linking the history of land grant institutions founded through the Land Grant College Act of 1862 (also known as the Morrill Act) to the forceful dispossession of Indigenous peoples, in some cases immediately prior to those lands’ disposition to universities.

Ganondagan State Historic Site (Central New York Historic and Heritage Centers that provide programing or tours)
Ganondagan State Historic Site located in Victor, NY is a National Historic Landmark, the only New York State Historic Site dedicated to a Native American theme (1987), and the only Seneca town developed and interpreted in the United States. Spanning 569 acres, Ganondagan (ga·NON·da·gan) is the original site of a 17th century Seneca town. The culture, art, agriculture, and government of the Seneca people influenced our modern understanding of equality, democratic government, women’s rights, ecology and natural foods. You can visit the Historic Site. The website also provides virtual programming.
