Description
pulled from site's meta descriptionWelcome to Acadien.com 100% Acadian content. The Acadians; "Les Acadien" are direct descendants of the 17th-century French colonists who settled in Acadia. Acadians can be found in populations throughout Eastern Canada's Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island), as well as part of Quebec, and present-day Maine to the Kennebec River. Although today most of the Acadians and Québécois are French speaking (francophone) Canadians, Acadia was a distinct colony of New France, and was geographically and administratively separate from the French colony of Canada (modern day Quebec), which led to Acadians and Québécois developing two rather distinct histories and cultures. The settlers whose descendants became Acadians came from "all the regions of France but coming predominantly directly from the cities". Many Acadians later settled in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. Others were transported to France... Acadian Acajun Cajun one of the same!
