We'kwayik

We'kwayik is a Mi'kmaw name associated with Digby Neck, a long peninsula between the Bay of Fundy and St. Marys Bay. The narrow ridge continues southwest through Long Island and Brier Island, with passages of tidal water separating them. Basalt cliffs face the powerful Fundy tides, and on Long Island a slender column of rock stands balanced above the shore. The peninsula forms a natural boundary between the open bay and the sheltered waters behind it.
