Founded by John Bathke (YC ‘89), the Native & Indigenous Student Association at Yale (NISAY)—formerly the Association of Native Americans at Yale (ANAAY)—is a student-run political and cultural organization at Yale University designed to celebrate, educate, and appreciate Indigenous cultures and histories. NISAY is devoted to the establishment of an Indigenous presence on campus. The group works toward building Indigenous cultural awareness of the community through panels, speaker programs, and other events throughout the year, including its annual Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration, powwow, and participation in the Ivy Native Council.
