The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources has proposed new language for a historical marker depicting what has come to be known as the Oyster River Massacre, which occurred on July 18, 1694, when a group of French and Wabanaki warriors attacked English settlers, leaving about 100 of the settlers dead. The state removed an earlier sign in 2021 after members of the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs complained that the marker lacked context, representing only one side of the story, and it used racially insensitive, insulting, and derogatory language.
