	Maliseet
		Maliseet (Malecite) have long been associated with the SAINT JOHN RIVER in New Brunswick and Maine, and early extended as far as the St Lawrence.
		Maliseet women took over a larger share of the economic burden and began to farm, raising native crops which previously had been grown only south of Maliseet territory.
		As late as the 19th century, the Maliseet practised some traditional crafts, especially building WIGWAMS and birchbark CANOES, but major shifts had taken place during the previous 2 centuries as Maliseet acquired European cutting tools and containers, muskets and alcohol, foods and clothing.

	Native Americans: The Maliseet Indian Tribe (Malecite, Malecites, Skicin, Maliseet Indians)
		The Maliseet live primarily in Canada, especially New Brunswick, with one band across the border in Maine (the US granted official recognition to the Maine tribe in 1980.) Older literature sometimes refers to them as "St. John's Indians," though they never used that term themselves.
		The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy, near relatives and long-time allies who spoke dialects of the same language, banded together against European and Iroquois aggression with their neighbors the Abenakis, Penobscots, and Micmacs.
		Maliseet history is interesting and important, but the Maliseet are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday.

	Maliseet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maliseet customs and Algonquian language are very similar to those of the neighboring Passamaquoddy (or Peskotomuhkati), and largely similar to those of the Mi'kmaq and Penobscot tribes, although the Maliseet are considered to have pursued a primarily agrarian economy.
		One Maliseet word also made its way into English: "Mus", or Moose, for the unfamiliar creature the English speakers found in the woods where the Maliseet lived and had no name for in their own language.
		In the Jay Treaty of 1794, the Maliseet were granted free travel between the United States and Canada because their territory spanned both sides of the border.

	Native Peoples in Madawaska: The Maliseet or Wulustukieg Nation
		Maliseet envoys—Pierre Tomah and Ambroise St-Aubin—complained in 1764 to the Governor of Canada (Quebec) about trespasses on the Maliseet's territory, and asked the British to maintain the rights to their territory that the French (who had ruled until 1763) had recognized.
		In 1785, when the first group of Acadian settlers arrived at Madawaska, the main village of the Maliseets in that area, located near present-day Edmundston, was reported to include 60 families; their leader was referred to as François Xavier and was reported to comand "200 warriors".
		Like their neighbours the Micmac and Abenaki, the Maliseet had from the earliest days of contact with the French tended to convert to Roman Catholicism, which of course was strongly encouraged by the French missionaries and colonial authorities.

		Maliseet and Mi'kmaq are very closely related to each other.
		Maliseet is often called Maliseet-Passamaquoddy because the two languages are really dialects of the same language, with only a few minor differences between them, much like British and Canadian English - a few vocabulary words, pronunciation and accent.
		Passamaquoddy is spoken in the St. Croix River watershed, in Maine, and Maliseet along the St. John River in New Brunswick.
