  • Conversational Cajun French 1
    Mais, sa c’est queque chose quand meme! Apprendre le français cadien par la lecture! Cajun French is still widely heard throughout Louisiana. However, this language—spoken by the descendants of the exiled Acadians—is in danger of disappearing. It was illegal to speak it at one time and even today, the teaching of Cajun French in schools is a controversial issue. With the publication of Conversational Cajun French 1, the first systematic approach to teaching the language, Cajun French becomes Conversational Cajun French 1 accessible to those born outside Cajun families. Authors Randall Whatley and Harry Jannise, Cajuns who speak fluent Cajun French, originally developed this handbook for a series of informal conversational Cajun French classes for the Louisiana State University Union in Baton Rouge. As an introduction Conversational to Cajun French, the book is extremely practical. Conversational Cajun French 1 focuses on everyday words and common phrases that can be understood everywhere the language is spoken, despite the various dialects Cajun French 1 and subdialects. Included are lessons in everyday words such as days and months, holidays, parts of the body, numbers, clothing, colors, rooms of By Randall P. Whatley and Harry Jannise the house and their furnishings, foods, animals, fruits and vegetables, tools, plants, and trees. In addition, there is a section of useful expressions and a list of traditional Cajun names. Although the book is designed to be used in conjunction with audio CDs or downloads (available from Pelican), a pronunciation guide enables even the beginning student working alone to learn enough to converse Whatley/Jannise with Cajuns—or at least enough to stay out of trouble in South Louisiana! Conversational Cajun French 1 is an important book not only because it provides a means for those trying to learn Cajun French on their own, but also because it marks an effort to preserve the language and culture and to win a wider acceptance for this unique aspect of Louisiana’s—and indeed the United States’—heritage.

  • CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES and PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 18
    CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES AND PLANTERS Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format Volume 1, Number 18 By Damon Veach SIG MEETING: Le Comité des Archives de la Louisiane’s African American Special Interest Group (SIG) will hold a meeting on July 25th, from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Delta Sigma Theta Life Development Center located at 688 Harding Blvd., next to Subway. The meeting is free and open to the public. Ryan Seidemann, President of the Mid City Historical Cemetery Coalition in Baton Rouge, will speak on Sweet Olive Cemetery. Officially dating back to 1898, Sweet Olive was the first cemetery for blacks incorporated in the Baton Rouge city limits. Burials are, however, believed to have occurred prior to 1898. Members of the group will give short presentations on a variety of African American genealogy topics. Cherryl Forbes Montgomery will discuss how to use Father Hebert’s Southwest Louisiana Records effectively. Barbara Shepherd Dunn will describe how she identified and documented the slave owners of her great grandmother. And, Judy Riffel will speak on the SIG’s efforts to create an East Baton Rouge Parish slave database. Time will be allowed at the end of the program for attendees to share their own genealogical problems and successes and to ask questions. With nearly 600 members, Le Comité is one of the largest genealogical groups in the state today. Its African American Genealogy SIG was formed in 2006 to help people doing African American research in Louisiana have a place to communicate and help one another. The group currently consists of 24 Le Comité members who have begun holding meetings and seminars.

  • Lafourche-Parish-From-A-To-Z.Pdf
    Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou … From A to Z! Attractions: We have more than two dozen of them, many of which are outlined elsewhere on this list. Whether you’re into heritage, food, crafts, culture, adventure or natural history, we have an attraction that suits your style …and helps you gain a better understanding of ours. Bayou: Bayou Lafourche extends more than 100 miles, through the length of our parish, and it’s truly what defines us. It’s where we live, work and play … and it’s always a point of reference when we’re giving directions. Whether we send you “up the Bayou” to Thibodaux or “down the Bayou” to Port Fourchon, you’ll find fabulous food and fun people all along the way. Cajun Culture: What you see – and hear and taste – in Lafourche Parish is real Cajun, not something contrived for marketing purposes. We’re proud of our heritage, and we want to share it with guests, whether they want to explore our history at museums, sample our cuisine at restaurants or enjoy our music at one of our many festivals. No matter where you go or what you do, you’ll discover that our Cajun runs deep. Donner-Peltier Distillers: This distillery uses local crops to make its spirits. There’s rice in their Oryza vodka and sugar cane in their Rougaroux rum (which, by the way, is named for our Cajun version of a werewolf). The staff will gladly take you on a tour of the distillery to show you how it’s done, then pour you some samples so you get a real taste of the Bayou.

  • RESEARCH NOTE a New Acadia: the Acadian Migrations to South
    RESEARCH NOTE A New Acadia: The Acadian Migrations to South Louisiana, 1764-1803 THE ACADIAN EXPULSION FROM NOVA SCOTIA has been the subject of intense scrutiny by both popular and scholarly writers, particularly since the publication of Longfellow's Evangeline in 1847. The subsequent wanderings of the exiled Acadians and the eventual settlement of many of them in Louisiana remained until recently a relatively neglected chapter in North American history.1 Indeed, with the exception of superficial and often inaccurate accounts of the Acadian migration in general histories of the Acadians, no comprehensive view of the Acadian migration to Louisiana has existed until quite recently.2 Through the use of major archival collections built by the Center for Louisi­ ana Studies and other Gulf Coast repositories, Acadian scholars in Louisiana and elsewhere have patiently pieced together the story of Acadian immigration and settlement in the 18th-century Mississippi Valley.3 What has emerged is the picture of a migration orchestrated in no small part by the Acadians themselves. This image constitutes a radical departure from the traditional views of the Acadian influx, which tended to regard this migration either as a fortuitous happenstance or as the spontaneous migration of independent groups of exiles to what they considered to be France's last outpost on the North American con­ tinent.4 This view of the Acadian influx, however, merely belied the one-dimen- 1 See, however, Robert LeBlanc, "The Acadian Migrations", Proceedings of the Minnesota Academy of Science, XXX (1962), pp. 55-9; Naomi Griffiths, "Acadians in Exile: The Experi­ ences of the Acadians in the British Seaports", Acadiensis, IV, 1 (Autumn 1974), pp.

  • Drive Down Bayou Lafourche Version 6.0 RATHOMAS 12-17-20.Pdf
    Version 6.0 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF NATURAL HISTORY, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE DRIVE FROM NEW ORLEANS TO GRAND ISLE, PORT FOURCHON, AND ELMER’S ISLAND, LOUISIANA By Robert A. Thomas, Loyola Center for Environmental Communication, School of Communication & Design, Loyola University New Orleans, & Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans ([email protected], 504-865-2107) HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE: This document was written to help participants in the Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans understand the sites, landscapes, structures, and way of life within the culture of those who live along Bayou Lafourche. It should be of interest to all who want to know more about this region of Louisiana, especially those who love natural history. NOTE that the mileages given are from the junction of U.S. 90 and LA 308, heading south. As you turn left off the exit ramp from US 90 onto LA 308, write down your odometer reading – all mileages given here are from that point. It will be best to reset your odometer to 0.00 so you can just read mileages. ALSO NOTE: odometer readings will be off some depending on the make of vehicle and the size of tires, so treat these mileages as approximations. ENJOY! Note the hand-drawn map with mileages in Appendix II. People with a deep and abiding interest in the natural history of south Louisiana are drawn to the Grand Isle/Fourchon/Elmer’s Island region. The habitats are spectacular, very different from New Orleans, and normally full of wonderful and interesting fauna and flora.
