| Welcome!
"The more I consider these people the more I believe that they are the happiest people in the world." Written by the last French governor in Acadia, this
could be used to describe the future Cajuns, the future inhabitants of the state of Louisiana. Originally from the Normandy regions of France, the people who would become
the Acadians (Cajuns) were early settlers in Canada. With the arrival of the British however, the" happy times" were soon to end. But even with the hardships that were placed
on this extraordinary group of people, they continued to develop and cherish their unique culture and way-of-life. These pages, created by Acadian descendants, hope to explore
this group of people by visits to real "Cajun" towns, presenting Cajun folk stories and the Cajun language, describing the unique Cajun way of cooking, and by visiting the
numerous Cajun-related festivals in Southern Louisiana. |
