Even history buffs might be surprised to know that Hamilton College in Clinton, one of America's oldest colleges, was initially founded in 1793 as a school for local American Indian and colonial settler children on land originally given by Oneida Indian Chief Shenendoah to Reverend Samuel Kirkland. When the then Hamilton-Oneida Academy was re-envisioned as Hamilton College in 1812, what began as a joint educational vision became focused solely on settler youth, omitting any commitment to educating Indigenous youth. Now, thanks to a $750,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation, Hamilton will be able to realize that original goal with the establishment of a program in American Indian and Indigenous Studies (AIIS).
