  • Dover honors indigenous heritage

    This month, the city of Dover continues its commitment to recognizing the area's indigenous heritage.

    In 2021, following a recommendation by the city's Racial Equity and Inclusion Committee, the Dover City Council adopted a land acknowledgment statement recognizing the Abenaki, Pennacook and Wabanaki peoples as the traditional stewards of the land now known as Dover. Bronze plaques featuring this acknowledgment are installed at city facilities and public schools, serving as permanent reminders of the area's indigenous history. The City Council in 2020 voted to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day in place of Columbus Day, but that decision was reversed by a new state law that took effect last month, mandating that New Hampshire communities adhere to official state holidays as identified by state statute.

    Dover continues to recognize its indigenous ancestors. In 2022, the city launched the "Indigenous Dover" initiative, supported by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council, which aims to foster a deeper understanding of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the area thousands of years before European settlement.
