Fosters Daily Democrat
DOVER Dover400, a committee of residents organizing Dover’s 400th anniversary, will host a historical lecture series in 2021 chronicling the city s past. Presentations will be be held at 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month starting Jan. 12. Initially, they will be held virtually by video conference.
The first session will pay tribute to the native people who occupied the region prior to colonization by white settlers. Dover resident and Native American Kathleen Blake will introduce the series with a Land Acknowledgement: a formal statement that recognizes indigenous peoples as traditional stewards of this land and respects the enduring relationship that exists between indigenous peoples and their traditional territories.
