Maliseet

The Wolastoqiyik, or Maliseet (English pronunciation: /ˈmæləˌsiːt/, also spelled Malecite), are an Algonquian-speaking First Nation of the Wabanaki Confederacy.

They are the Indigenous people of the Saint John River valley and its tributaries, and their territory extended across the current borders of New Brunswick and Quebec in Canada, and parts of Maine in the United States. The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, based in Maine, are the federally recognized tribe of Maliseet people in the United States. Today Maliseet people have also migrated to other parts of the world.
