Acadian Memorial - St.Martinville, Louisiana
St. Martinville ~ Each year during early spring, the Acadian Memorial prepares a gathering of Cajun family and friends in the historic city of St. Martinville. This year on March 19th, celebrate the Acadian Museums program of the history, heritage, traditions, culture, and story of the Acadian/Cajuns of Louisiana inside the museum and memorial, and outside in the Evangeline Oak Park situated along the Bayou Teche.
The festival goal is to remind us of the need to preserve and protect the Cajun traditions, to communicate the authenticity of the strong culture, to make the site/history come alive, to solidify the fit with the community, and to collaborate with the community and the surrounding areas.
The Cajuns are known around the world as the symbol of Louisiana; people are attracted to their warm culture. Hosting this colorful museum style festival fosters pride in Louisiana's Acadian legacy, creating a closer understanding of their unique influence on the Acadiana area and the entire state.
The Acadian Memorial Foundation and Staff invites you to participate, engage in Cajun traditions, with a sense of stepping back in time with a reenactment of the Acadians arrival in Louisiana during the mid 1700s. Join with the Acadians make this family, museum-style festival a day of fun and discovery.
This year's honored families are Boudreaux and Guillotte. (2011)

There's a difference in the air, it's knowing that we care in Acadiana.
Here we dream our yesterdays and tomorrow's Cajun ways in Acadiana.
From the offshore's surging tide to a quiet bayou side in a world of joie de vivre,
From the live oak's cooling shade to the southern sunlight's state where your good neighbors never leave
Makes no difference where I go, you're still the best home I know
Hello Acadiana, Hello Acadiana
TV 10 loves you!
Expulsion of the Acadians
The Expulsion of the Acadians, also known as the Great Upheaval, the Great Expulsion, the Great Deportation and Le Grand Dérangement, was the forced removal by the British of the Acadian people from the present day Canadian Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island —an area also known as Acadie. The Expulsion occurred during the French and Indian War and was part of the British military campaign against New France. The British first deported Acadians to the Thirteen Colonies, and after 1758 transported additional Acadians to Britain and France. In all, of the 14,100 Acadians in the region, approximately 11,500 Acadians were deported.
After the British conquest of Acadia in 1710, the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht allowed the Acadians to keep their lands. Over the next forty-five years, however, the Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath of allegiance to Britain. During the same period, they also participated in various military operations against the British, and maintained supply lines to the French fortresses of Louisbourg and Fort Beauséjour. As a result, the British sought to eliminate any future military threat posed by the Acadians and to permanently cut the supply lines they provided to Louisbourg by removing them from the area.

Evangeline Immortalized (REL 3010 docu)
First the legalese: I do not own the rights to Disney's The Princess and The Frog nor do I own rights to any of the music in this movie, all were used under The Fair Use Act for my REL 3010 project documentary about religion in Louisiana. (LSU class). Also, I do not own the rights to the Gus Johnson sound bite, it was just awesome and I refused to not let this documentary get something completely awesome in it.
Now the description: In Acadiana, there is one name that seems to pop up everywhere: Evangeline. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem proved to be a valuable asset to the Cajuns, possibly one of their best ones ever.
