The Battle of Restigouche is a naval battle fought during the French and Indian War (the North American theaer of the Seven Years' War) on the Restigouche River between the British Royal Navy and the small flotilla of vessels of the French Navy, Acadian militia and Mi'kmaq militias.
The French vessels had been sent to relieve New France after the fall of Quebec.
Supplies are extraordinarily important because France run their colonies such that the colonies are wholly dependent on products and manufacturing of the motherland.
The loss of the Battle of Restigouche and the consequent inability to supply the troops marks the end of any serious attempt by France to keep hold of their colonies in North America, and it severely curtaild any hopes for a lengthy resistance to the British by the French forces that remain.
The battle is the last major engagement of the Mi'kmaq and Acadian militias before the Burying of the Hatchet Ceremony between the Mi'kmaq and the British.
