I’ve actually been gobbling up Jim Leger’s tutorials and my husband and daughter are giving me the Cajun Self Taught bundle package for my birthday this month. I’m so excited. My mother is fluent in CF but we never learned as children (what a pity). I don’t want my mother to pass away one day and my family’s heritage lost. I currently live in Minnesota and there is noone to talk to here. My husband and daughter are not interested in learning since they are true northerners. My mother was very surprised when I called her and I had made up a couple of sentences regarding current events in our family. She understood most but corrected the rest. It is really bringing my long distance relationship with my Mama alot closer and helps me with being lonesome by just hearing the CF spoken. I CANNOT THANK JIM ENOUGH!

Comment on Are All Cajuns From Nova Scotia? by J. Normand

Cajuns are French, plain and simple. Some of might have Indian in them, but it has always been known to plenty of us (and genetic tests support me on this) that the majority do not, and a few Indian loanwords is not enough to make the language French Indian. The misconception is that just because we’ve always treated the Indians well (unlike the English) we must have Indian ancestry. This is only true of a few, however, as most Métis (French-Indian mixed persons) left the French settlements to live either in their own communities or with the Indians.

My grandmother was sent home from school because she only spoke French. The state spent tons of money and effort to eradicate the language only to now be trying to save it by teaching it in school. Pretty sad.

Fortunately, I have a number of Gen X friends who are fluent. I hope they are passing it on to their own children, as it was passed to my mother by my grandmother.

My grandfather, Cheese Read, would have enjoyed the Ramblers’ music. And that they honor their Cajun roots.

It’s nice to find a blog that presents Cajun culture in a positive way. Outside of recipe sites, it’s a rare find.
