Best Answer

When the French settled in Canada, they chose two distinct regions; the province of Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces of Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, collectively known as 'Acadia'. In 1760, the British administrators of the Maritimes deported 13,000 or so 'Acadians' to Louisiana. These Acadians became 'cajuns', and still feel closely bound to their original francophone roots. ______________________________________________________________________ a person living in Louisiana decending from the original French settlers there. they have a distinctive culture-food, dance, etc.
