The Settlement of Viger by the Maliseet

In 1826, the Maliseet living in the Saint John River Valley presented a request to the authorities of Lower Canada for a parcel of land to be reserved for their use. The government responded favourably to their request and granted them, collectively, a concession located in their traditional hunting grounds in Viger Township, abutting the seigneury of Isle-Verte.
