<p>i am one and was hoping someone could tell me if there are many n.a. in Ithaca. it's okay if there weren't tho.</p>
<p>lol there are basically none.</p>
<p>I don't think you will find large populations at any top school because they are such a small percentage of the US. What I do think is that Cornell will probably have a larger percentage than peer schools...for instance it is the largest Ivy League school which makes there a larger possibility of more native americans. There are also a trillion clubs so i wouldn't be suprised if there was a club of them. That is really cool that you are one and I am sure that you could create a easily create a related club if there isn't one already.</p>
<p>edit: I looked it up on facebook and the group has 41 people...but I'm not sure if they are all Native Americans or not. <a href="http://cornell.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2203760709%5B/url%5D">http://cornell.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2203760709</a> That is a pretty large amount of people in that club so I'd say that is a good thing!</p>
<p>one of the multicultural residence halls is native american themed.</p>

<p>yea dartmouth supposedly has a decent population as well, probably more than Cornell. it was founded for Native Americans after all. but yea there is akwekon at Cornell. w/e</p>
<p>people will appreciate your interesting background!! i want to meet you haha</p>
<p>what group are you affiliated with and what state are you from?</p>
<p>last I knew, there was some pretty bad relations between the NA's and the white population at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>yea i kinda heard that...but as far as the university's catering to NAs, i think that the school is solid. that's what i meant i guess. wasn't there some sort of incident there a little while back?</p>
<p>yeah, they've had some things.<br>

<p>Ya you would definitely be accepted at Cornell at the very least. Cornell is very diverse (esp compared to the schools I've attended in my life! lol)</p>
<p>The NA thing at Dartmouth was because of a cowboy and Indian party and in my opinion the administration did a tremendous job handling the matter. Truth be told most Ivy campuses tend to be very "protest" oriented (which is a good thing perhaps) and you'll happenings like things like these at all the Ivies (ex. Columbia's year long protests about graduate student pay, etc). </p>
<p>Anyway, the NA population at Dartmouth is about 4%, there is a Native American Studies program and major (the only one among the Ivies), the "NAD" house which supports a lot of native focused activity. Also, many Native American focused events like the pow-wow" (a huge event) are college sponsored. I think its the best Ivy in terms of Native American community.</p>
