Louisiana Folklife Festival

The U.S. state of Louisiana has a heritage that was formed by many different cultures, nationalities, and ethnic groups. Among these groups are the Cajuns and the Creoles. The Cajuns are the descendants of French-speaking Acadians from Canada.

Acadia was an early term for the Canadian province of Nova  Scotia. After the French lost the colony in 1755 the Acadians were expelled. Creole people are a mix of French or Spanish and African descent.
