Louis Thomas (c. 1766 - c. 1869)

Louis Thomas, a 19th century Maliseet chief, was instrumental in settling his people in the Lower St. Lawrence region. In 1826, he and his brother Joseph submitted a request to the Governor General of Lower Canada, on behalf of themselves and 96 other individuals living in the St. John River Valley, for a parcel of land to be held in common in Viger Township.
