Wolastoqiyik
The Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk Nation (the St-Laurent Maliseet) is a community living in Cacouna, along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. They own a site that hosts the administrative building of the Maliseet of Viger First Nation; it’s a great spot to observe migratory birds and marine mammals. This Nation has always been known for the quality of its handicrafts: sculpture, quillwork, beadwork, and basket weaving.

Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk
La Première Nation Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk, autrefois appelée Malécites de Viger, occupe un petit territoire au coeur du village de Cacouna au Bas-Saint-Laurent. On y retrouve notamment la maison Denis-Launière, patrimoine historique de la communauté. La communauté est dispersée, mais elle se réunit lors du pow-wow annuel.
