Wolastokwewiyik

The Wolastokwewiyik were an Algonquian-speaking people of the Saint John River valley, in present-day New Brunswick, Quebec and Maine. They farmed, hunted and fished.

In the seventeenth century they traded furs with the French and shifted their main settlement upriver to Meductic. They belonged to the Wabanaki Confederacy; in 1776 the Houlton band became treaty allies of the United States. A reserve was established at Madawaska before 1800.
