Most people that …
Most people that say they are cajun are not and maybe only have a little bit of cajun blood. Ignorance plays a key role here. I was even told I was cajun when I was growing up. Not so, I dont think I have even a small amount just like a lot of us. Most are Creole which meant direct decendant from France.
Worse is right. I …
Worse is right. I was born in a town where the first Stelly settled and died in 1791. He was in Louisiana since 1723. The cajuns didnt arrive till 1755. And then it was not even 3000 of them. More like half that. There were already 15,000 colonist there at the time that settled it. The cajuns were only welcomed to live where we already settled. But somehow, the small amount of cajuns took over the french that was already here. I dont think so. Ignorance plays a key role.

Yeah, Alan takes a lot of analytical liberties, and fits a few things to his idea. I liked it because a lot of it was filmed in my home area and has my greatgrandfather and high school girl friend in it. The footage is all real, the commentary is skewed. But having moved away, it sure makes me homesick when I watch it.

I’m born and raisee in south La. I have this video as well as others, and this one happens to be one of the worst docs on Cajun culture. Sure, there’s some facts, but Alan’s focus on certain things are all misguided. Ignore this one, there are better documentaries on my culture.
