Request for letters of support: Proposed name restoration for the Wolastoq
The Wolastoq Grand Council supports our YOUTH GROUPS on their proposal for changing the name of the Saint John River, back to it’s original and proper name; Wolastoq (the beautiful & bountiful river ). We see this as a good place to begin the process of implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; which was strongly recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Proposed Name Restoration:
The name
Saint John River
back to it’s original indigenous name -
Wolastoq
