Support Cornell’s Ivy Native Conference!

The Native American and Indigenous Students at Cornell Club (NAISAC) is thrilled to be hosting the Ivy Native Conference (INC) for the first time in seven years! INC is a four-day event that brings together students from across the Ivy League and greater New York area to celebrate and deepen their knowledge of Indigenous studies. This April, we are excited to bring students, speakers, and community members to Cornell's campus for collaboration and learning. 

This year’s conference theme is “Plants & Our People: Rooted in Indigenous Community." We will be bringing speakers from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences in hopes of expanding collective ethnobotanical knowledge, traditional food sovereignty, and preservation of Indigenous cultures. 

We will be joined by Haudenosaunee drummers and dancers in recognition of Cornell’s presence on their traditional homelands and as a celebration of our first time in many years hosting this event. 


Help us make it happen. 



A conference of this scale requires a large financial investment. With your support, we can make our conference unforgettable. 


Your gifts will help us cover the numerous expenses needed to host this conference, such as breakfasts, dinners, speaker fees, speaker housing, drummers, dancers, workshop supplies, and merchandise. Without your support, we will not be able to uplift the Indigenous voices representing the many tribes of Turtle Island. 


Gifts of all sizes are deeply appreciated.
