Meductic Indian Village / Fort Meductic, Archaeological site and national historic site in Woodstock Parish, Canada

The Meductic settlement stands at the junction of Eel River and Saint John River, occupying a strategic position on an elevated plateau.

From pre-17th century until mid-18th century, this fortified village served as the main settlement of the Maliseet First Nation and primary fur trading center.

The Maliseet people maintained agricultural practices by planting corn during spring floods, which created fertile grounds in the adjacent lowlands.

The archaeological remains of the settlement now rest underwater following the construction of the Mactaquac dam in 1968.

The site contained the Saint Jean Baptiste chapel, constructed in 1717, representing one of New Brunswick's earliest Christian religious structures.
