Answer:
The cajuns come from french people living off the coast of Canada in a place called acadia. When the English took over this land, the Acadians were forced to leave acaidia and settle down in Louisiana. (this is were the fictional poem Evangeline comes in) There, they formed themselves into a group they called the cajuns. (short for acadians) and formed their own culture with their own language, religion, flag, dance, and art.
