    Default Cajun "tribe"

    I did survey on European/American people.
    None of them were really interesting.
    Then,accidentally, I came across the Cajun/French people.
    What a very interesting people they are.Just up my street.
    Could anyone shed some light on these people.??????
    I do not need the Cajun/Creole.

    laissez les bons temps rouler!

    What exactly is it you need to know? There's a few of us around here.

    I do not need the Cajun/Creole.
    And can you explain what you mean here? A lot of Cajuns in Louisiana have French Creole ancestors as well.

    Will, they are to me the real robust people with a great history(from what I have read).
    Saw some good looking dolls and a culinary which appeals to me.
    Would like to know more.
    What are their customs-maternal or patriarchal- language-costumes- upbringing of children-conservative or liberal etc
    I was fascinated by their culture.
    What is the meaning of their flag.????

    I have read a lot on the Creole and apparently there is a difference between the French Cajun and the Creole Cajun

    Well, I'll answer for what I know, but I'll leave some of this to be answered by the others who can say more.

    There are two flags that are important: the first, the Acadian Flag is a French Flag with a yellow star in the upper left corner, which apparently represents Mary. The second is the flag of Acadiana, which divides up the colors of the French flag in a different pattern. There's a gold star on the left which represents Mary again, three fleur-de-lis which represent France, and a golden castle representing Spain, since the Spanish helped them resettle.

    In my experience, the father is definitely the head of the household, and children are brought up Catholic. Cajuns I know are overwhelmingly conservative, though many vote for liberal Democrats out of habit (from a time when it meant something else). Though despite being religious and conservative, we're a lot more easygoing than the Anglo-Protestants, and off the top of my head one of my favorite (simple) traditions is a boucherie, where communities get together to slaughter and cook a few hogs and drink beer. It sounds simple, but it's a lot of fun. Cajun French is really only spoken by old people because it was banned (by Anglo-Americans) in many places and shunned in others during the first half of the 20th century, and it's use never really caught on again. My grandmother meant to teach it to me before she died, but never really got down to it. We speak a sort of Cajun English now, with a lot of French phrases and some of us with a heavy accent, though even that's disappearing now.

    Creole just means mixed. We even refer to those of mixed Acadian and Foreign French (meaning, any non-Acadian French) as Creole.

    Cajuns are descendants of Acadians who were expelled from Nova Scotia to Louisiana and decided to stay there. Cousins to me, although there is a slight difference between Acadian and Cajun culture. Both have a very rich culture.

    I'm assuming you have read Wikipedia articles and things like that, so I won't bother posting those, but what else would you want to know?

    No, that would be North Americans of Anglo-Saxon extraction. The closest thing they have to a culture is when they leave yogurt in the refrigerator too long.

    I find the Acadian/Cajun culture as you 3 described so much similar to the real old fashion Boers in South Africa(KZN-Freestate)Their culture is so much different than the Afrikaner.
    I am still a bit at a loss as to the pre_Nova Scotia ancestors and what was the reason they were banned from Nova_Scotia.
    How exactly does Spain fit in during a time of tribulation between France and Spain???

    I have gone through Wiki,but Wiki is not the ideal site to find the soul of the Cajun.
    How did the name Cajun came into being.?
    Any famous Cajun writers and artists ?
