“And if Cajuns were displaced Acadians?”
That they are. Around the time of the French and Indian War the Brits booted the Acadians out of Canada and a bunch of them settled in Louisiana. Cajun is just a contraction of the name Acadian. Drop the ‘A’ and run the rest together.
Creole indicated ‘native born’, its the name that French colonials gave to those born in Louisiana as opposed to those born in France.
Thanks. That’s what I thought.
In Montreal they still have a lot of things called l’Acadian or l’Acadie.
