The Wolastoqey Nation is represented by Wolastoqey Tribal Council which

Oromocto, and Saint Mary's.
The Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick
launched a new flag designed by Samaqani Cocahq-Natalie Sappier for the First
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept.30, 2021
The Wolastoqewiyik
Nation flag incorporates many elements that are culturally significant. The
canoe and paddle represent the ancestral technology of transportation of the
birchbark canoe and ash paddle. The river symbolizes not only who they are as
People of the Beautiful River, Wolastoqewiyik, but also how the river highway
keeps Wolastoqewiyik connected to all of their communities. The fiddlehead
double curve designs in the corners are emblematic of the symbol for life,
generations, past and present, and the traditional food source. The colours in
those designs incorporate the four sacred colors of creation and the colours
blue for water and tan for the land and islands. The salmon in the center has
been another source of sustenance for Wolastoqewiyik and embodies their spirit
of resilience and strength. The deep green of the flag represents the Earth. The
flag is used by all of the Wolastoqewiyik Nation and is respected as a symbol of
unity.
