My Grandpa who was cajun from Eunice. You figure out the cajun name Did say it was common for kids to be punished for speaking cajun french in school in the early 1920's/1930's. Its ashame really because a lot of the cajun French has died along with them.



I am from that same neck-of-the-woods and my parents were also punished for speaking french at school. But, they were not punished or "beaten" everyday

On a trip to Nova Scotia, we stopped in the Acadian fishing village of Cheticamp. I saw this tapestry of family names in the village.
