My Acadian Heritage
My Mom took my kids to a concert with these folks recently. I think they are cool. My ancestry is Acadian.

Re: My Acadian Heritage
You must have a hip mom. That group would give my mom heart failure. LOL!
Cool music!
What language is that? French?

LOL! Well, my Mom is fairly liberal. People on here would consider her very liberal I suppose. She has short hair and is Catholic! The group is a cultural group, they even have them at schools!

Re: My Acadian Heritage
I like the music a lot! Is that French they're speaking?

Yes. My Mom said at the concert that they did some different dialects that didn't hardly even sound French! I don't speak French, sadly. All they offered in my school was Spanish (I took three years of that.) My grandmother learned French before she learned English. I have quite a few bilingual relatives. My Mom was made to speak French when she was young, but then they moved to an English speaking area and it was fairly lost. At out family reunion, my Grandmother insists that an Acadian flag is flown and there is a sign that says Bienvenue (welcome). My Grandmother is 95 years old and she had a sever heart attack a couple of months ago. We thought we were going to lose her but she is still here!!

Re: My Acadian Heritage
I've always wanted to learn French. One of my sons is going to take it next year through our homeschool curriculum, so I'm going to learn it with him.

Re: My Acadian Heritage
Evangeline is a beautiful song about the Acadian expulsion from that area. When they moved the Acadians out of there many ended up in New Orleans and are now known as the Cajuns. My people hid in Prince Edward Island and changed their name. My grandmother and many of my relatives still live in Prince Edward Island. It is really a very neat heritage.

Re: My Acadian Heritage
My husband keeps telling me that I need to learn Spanish because that would be more useful, but I want to learn FRENCH, not Spanish, so there! 
I'll probably work on Spanish after French.
