Meet the Students
Click on each name below to listen to Indigenous students at Cornell share how plants support their well-being and connect them to their communities, as well as how they care for plants and other beings in return.
"Braids of white corn are a symbol of who we are as Hodinöhšö:ni:h people. The very survival of our seeds is a testament to our enduring strength."
“I remember my mother telling me there were certain days in May where you would offer some bean seeds in a ceremony for a good harvest.”
“My passion for agriculture started not in a formal setting but in my grandmother’s flower garden.”
“It’s my job to recognize that all beings have a purpose whether I know their purpose or not.”
“Find where you fit into the cycle of nature. Whether you love birding or talking a walk and looking at the trees.”
