The Brothers 18 is a Wolastoqey (Wəlastəkwey) First Nation reserve in Canada located upon a group of small islands in the mouth of the Kennebecasis River in Saint John County, New Brunswick. [1] The reserve was first returned to the Wolastoqiyik (Wəlastəkwiyik, who are sometimes referred to as the Maliseet or St. John River Indians) on September 19, 1838, and it quickly became a busy settlement where Wolastoqey (Wəlastəkwey) families cleared land, cultivated crops, built homes, and accessed other resources.[2] The reserve is presently composed of two islands and has an area of about 10 acres.
