Our Trip Back to Acadie Part 2
Posted by admin
In the summer of 2004 we made a pilgrimage to Nova Scotia for the Acadian World Congress.
We had a great time and met a lot of other Brow’s and Breau’s at the Breau family reunion. We camped for a week on the Bay of Fundy where we got to see some huge tidal changes.
In the middle of the film is footage of the original Breau farm. Vincent Breau settled there about 1650 and the family lived there till 1755 when all Acadians were exiled by the English.
The Acadian World Congress, or Le Congrès Mondial Acadien, is a festival of Acadian and Cajun Culture and history, held every five years. It is also informally known as the Acadian Reunion.
The third congress, in 2004, was held jointly by several Nova Scotia communities in the ancestral Acadie region and celebrated the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first French-speaking settlers in Canada. As in the previous gatherings, musical festivals and theatrical productions displayed Acadian culture, and academics debated the meaning of Acadia in the 21st century.
