Question 9 of 33
What term does the Maliseet nation now use to identify itself?
Wolastoqiyik means “people of the beautiful river”. The reserves of Cacouna and Whitworth near Rivière-du-Loup, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, are unusual in that they have never been inhabited full time, as the Wolastoqiyik live scattered throughout the province. The Cacouna reserve covers only 0.201 hectares, making it the smallest reserve in Canada.
