The Viger nation has two reserves: Kataskomiq (formerly known as Whitworth) and Cacouna 22, both at Bas-Saint-Laurent in Quebec.
[5] The first nation is officially governed by a Band Council, which is elected by a customary electoral system based on section 10 of the Indian Act.
In 2000, the federal government granted them a permit to fish for snow crab and northern prawn.
The development of the Wolastoqiyik fisheries contributes to the economic growth of the regions of Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie.
This house, which belonged to the last chief of the Viger inhabiting the Cacouna 22 reserve, was transformed in the year 2000 into an interpretation centre of the Maliseet culture.
