Malecite
The Malecite name was
translated as "slow talkers" or "broken
tongues". They belonged to the Abnaki grouping
of the Algonquin Indians. Their language is very
similar to some New England native bands such as
the Passamaquoddy. The lived along the Banks of
the St John River in New Brunswick. They were
generally allied with the Algonquin and offered
the French under Champlain generous hospitality
and support. They were not a large group and
probably never number more then 1,000 people.
They lived in long houses,
smoked tobacco, danced and generally lived a
stable life without much conflict with their
neighbours.
