Two trucks cross rising wolastoq (good river)or St. John river.Before the arrival of the first Acadian settlers around 1784, the Upper St.John River valley was home to the Wolastoqewiak or Maliseet (Malécite) Nation, a branch of the Algonquin peoples. The Wolastoqewiak, is derived from the word wolastoq, which means

Beginning in the days of the pre Loyalists, when New Brunswick was still part of Nova Scotia, it became a standard practice of government officials to help themselves, and their cronies, to the best lands in the province. As Brebner (1969) has put it:

Former NHLer Bobby Hull spoke words of wisdom and encouragement to the youth of th Mi'kmaq and Maliseet youth in Fredericton days before there departure to B.C. for the Indigenous Games.

The morning after evacuations and warnings.Wolastoqewiak (people of the good river) or Maliseet have lived along the wolastoq or St. John river for centuries. This year as in the flood of 1973 the river came over its banks and caused massive evacuations all along its path.

Champlain's christening of the river was an act of cultural chauvinism. For the Maliseet, or Wolastoqewiak who had camped along its banks for centuries, the Saint John was known as the Wolastoq; for them, it was a bountiful river that led to a bountiful sea. It was their refuge, but it was destined to become the refuge of other cultures, as first the Acadians, and then the Loyalists, fled from persecution and personal danger to the safety of its valley. The Saint John was also destined to become both an international boundary and a major artery of culture and commerce through the heartland of New Brunswick, leading, ever so conveniently, to one of Atlantic Canada's most important harbours. Stretching 673 kilometres from its rugged headwaters in the woods of northern Maine, running southeast to its mouth at the city of Saint John, and draining a vast area of 55,000 square kilometres, the Saint John is one of Canada's greatest workhorse rivers. Forests, farms, massive hydroelectric projects have all left their mark on the Maliseet's beloved Wolastoq, but its rank as one of eastern Canada's greatest waterways remains unchanged.

To compound the tragedy, the massive lumbering almost completely denuded large areas of woodlands, whichpractically eliminated hunting as a major source of sustenance for First Nations. And if the forests were not denudedby the lumberman, they were soon denuded by the great Miramichi fire of 1825, which fed on piles of dry scrap woodleft everywhere by careless lumberman. Meanwhile the rise of the deals industry (sawn logs) meant that not onlywould the rivers be regularly choked with logs, but also with sawmills and sawdust, which quickly took their tool onfish, another important source of sustenance for First Nations.Boise Inc announced that it would
