On the morning of May 5th, the A.D White and Ezra Cornell statues in Cornell University had banners and red handprints in recognition of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Cornell staff soon had them taken down.
Cornell Uni is the largest recipient of appropriated Indigenous land from the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 and the institution that accrued the greatest financial benefit from that land.
