From the Associates of the New Brunswick Archives... Title Maliseet First Nations people at Kingsclear near Fredericton, late 1800's / Personnes des Premières Nations Malécite, à Kingsclear près de Fredericton, fin des 1800

Came across a snapshot article from Daily Gleaner outlining a visit of Canadian Architect Douglas Cardinal  to St. Mary's First Nation in New Brunswick. The story features some photos of the replica of the Grandfather Akwiten built by Steve Cayard and G. Wayne Brooks at the St.Mary's First Nation in 2009 (more info on Steve Cayard's site here). Anyway, the newspaper article had a close up Brooks & Cardinal holding some traditional paddles...what looks to be both an older set with curved notches in the grip and a new set with some basic etching.
