At Citizens for a [[self-sustaining]] Fort Monroe National Park, we've been 
asked to help spread the word about "The Day Kikotan Became Hampton," a 
mini-conference to be held Monday, June 7, starting at 6 P.M. at the 
American Theatre, 125 Mellen Street, in the Phoebus section of Hampton, 
within sight of Fort Monroe. Via a link at the May 16 entry on the "What's 
New" page at our Web site, CFMNP.org, an announcement flyer (in two parts; 
please scroll) tells about registration (deadline: June 1), the evening's 
schedule, and the presenters. It also contains an overview that says, in 
part, "Four eminent scholars and two outstanding folk singers, abetted by 
the Four Rivers Native Drum group, will lead participants in evaluating 
events of July 9, 1610, when the 1,000-year-old Indian village of Kikotan 
ceased to exist and the 400-year-old English settlement of Kikotan/Elizabeth 
City/Hampton began life on the banks of Hampton Creek near Old Point 
Comfort" -- that is, near the site of Fort Algernoune then, and Fort Monroe 
now. For information beyond what's in the online flyer, please call 757 
727-1610. Thanks.
