TheDurham Town Council believed it was time for the cornmunity to reflect on
thelegacy of theseactions and createa tribute to the peoplethat assistedthe colonists
with the knowledge and understandingof how to survive in an unfamiliar new land and
who made it possiblefor the rest of usto make a life for ourselveson the lands that, in
manycases,were taken from the original inhabitants.
The Durham Town Council further believes this tribute should also be realized at

Stateof NewHampshireLegislatureto give seriousconsiderationto alsodesignatingthe
