AKA Shediac, not to be confused with the town of the same name.

From the Wikipedia page:

Hundreds of years ago, the Mi'kmaq encampment of "Es-ed-ei-ik" was one of the major camps in southeast New Brunswick. The Mi'kmaq word "Es-ed-ei-ik" which means "running far in" (in reference to the tide, which has a long range over the shallow, sandy beaches) eventually transformed into Gédaique ...

... and then to Shediac. The payes du Gédaique, or Es-ed-ei-ik country of the Mi'kmaq People, was a vast area that came to contain several Acadian settlements, starting as Acadians began to flee the English takeover of Nova Scotia, and including post-deportation Acadian settlements.
