Mi'Kmaq is more or less pronounced Meeg'ma. The apostrophe elongates the sound that come before it. K is a "G" sound in the Mi'Kmaq language. P is "B" sound and T is "D" sound. Very awesome podcast
So for many of us who have Scottish Catholic ancestors, it seems Ironic that a Protestant plot may have dispossessed our co-religionists in Acadia. Many of the starving, desperate Highlanders who arrived in NS were Catholics.

I am writing this from Saint John NB Canada a short walk from the Fort Latour site so I must thank you for sharing this historical information it was amazing to learn the routes of the town's history. You guessed right my family is from Acadian, Micmac, and English roots (mother and grandfather etc are Micmac)
@@arathaemaxus5250 How much English gets butchered by we French speakers? Yet we rarely get called out on it. As a true blood Acadian, I’m grateful for this history lesson.
I can tell you one name of an Acadian family who nearly became Mikmac and stayed in Acadia until the end, the LeJeune family (As in camp LeJeune), the ancestors of my Maternal great Gramma; to this day, there are several LeJeunes in the Mikmac reservation at Bras Dor. ( My branch actually hid out with their Mikmac cousins until the coast was clear, then headed for Quebec, during the deportations)... other branches weren't as lucky, and wound up as ''Cajuns'' in Louisiana!
Shout out from Saint John New Brunswick Canada. I live 4 blocks from the Fort La Tour site. Its alot of information to take in when just listening to everything. I would really like to see someone make a movie of this one day, kind of along the lines of the three musketeers. It should follow Charles La Tour with good accuracy but with some good side humor and strong cast.
Fantastic history. Thank you for posting it. It'd be helpful, and significantly more interesting, if you showed us some maps of the specific areas you speak about. After all UA-cam is a visual platform. And yes, any of us can go to Google Earth and zoom in on New Brunswick, for example, but Fort Pentigo, or the movements of peoples up and down the east coast.
Pretty good video. The pronunciation of the French names is not great. The border of the old Acadia/Nova Scotia colony does not form the border between Canada and the USA today. The border in the 1600s and much of the 1700s was considered to be at the Kennebec River. The Kirks did not settle Nova Scotia. Their settlers remain in Newfoundland. Kirk assists Sir William Alexander who send settlers to Nova Scotia. His son settles colonists at Charles Fort (the location of the future second iteration of the the French settlement of Port Royal and later on the British Annapolis Royal) and Sir Robert Borden settles his colonists at Baleine in Cape Breton. When Claude LaTour became an English Baronet he gains title not to all of Acadia/Nova Scotia but only a portion of the region. The idea that British "were so concerned about the exploding population" as there reason for deporting the Acadians, was just not the case. The deportations had to do with the loss of trust in the Acadian after about a decade of the French along with their Mi'kmaq allies destabilizing and warring in the Nova Scotia. Many Acadians had supported these efforts.
Ohh, very nice video. You are fast and this is a lot of info. Thank you. I live annapolis valley now, in heart of old acadia, ns. my children could get the mikmaq status if they wanted it, but we didnt know those roots until i was pregnant with the first one so that was interesting. Its pronounced like *meegmaw* ..:) thanks again ua-cam.com/video/A3JSfx3wiC0/v-deo.html
WOW!!! On April 22, 1636, King Charles told the Plymouth Colony to give Long Island to Alexander. Through his agent James Farret, he presumably received Shelter Island and Robin's Island instead, most of which he sold to the New Haven and Connecticut colonies. My 9th great grandmother who was married to Richard Egerton who seems to be tied into the the French Merchant trade, was Mary Sylvester. It have been alleged that her parents were Giles Sylvester and Mary Gascoigne Arnold, from Sylvester Mansion on Shelter Island. We also have a record with no original document saying that Richard and Mary Edgerton arrived in America in 1636. 🤔 My 9th great grandparents are the progenitors of all Edgertons from Connecticut. This all seems like way more than a coincidence. STILL Listening To this video. I don't even remember now what prompted me, but I tried searching "Mr. Egerton," which automatically took me to an article titled "Allestree’s Almanack, 1620 Winthrop, Adam (1548-1623) Entry day 20th March, 1620 "20. Mr. Watts preached at Boxforde. Mr. Egerton." Another annotation in the same almanac: "Sir John Deane, of Maplestead, co. Essex, son of William and Anne (Egerton) Deane. He married Anne, daughter of Sir Drew Drury of Riddlesworth, co. Norfolk, knight." My 9h great grandfather apparently had a sister named Anne. And he named one of his daughters Anne. And digging EVEN DEEPER: Shelter Island had the first Presbyterian Church in America. So I searched Egerton Presbyterians. "Stephen Egerton (1555?-1621?) was an English priest, a leading Puritan preacher of his time, who was also active in agitating for reform of the Church of England.Stephen had obviously been very close to his sister Anne, widow of John Tyndal, who at her death in 1620 had bequeathed to her "kind and loving brother Stephen" a gilt tankard.[5] Anne was the mother of Margaret Tyndal Winthrop, third wife of John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony." OMG John Winthrop married an Egerton!😮

Thanks for this incredibly information
I just found out I'm a direct descendant of Charles De La Tour. He is my 14 great grandfather.
he would probably be turning in his grave as savoir que vous finiriez tous par etres déporté et privé de vos meurses et culture

I live in Louisbourg NS on Cape Breton Island. There’s a lot of history here.
Planning to go there again this summer, saw Louisbourg back in the 1970s, when it was still being built
Just back from Louisbourg! For the second time this year. Got to stay overnight in the prison this time 😁
@@christophe3281that’s awesome! The fortress is so fun! Hope you had an incredible time!
All my ancestors come from Acadie.
I have 3 Acadian branches, but, most of my ancestors were Quebecois... I myself am Franco-Ontarian
This is so good and so well researched. What a shame you didn’t take the time to work on French pronunciations.
The real shame is that I did!
Oh ya butchered 😂

Yes! Advocate harbour!
Great Stuff !
Always interesting hearing about my ancestor Charles LaTour.
As an Acadian, born and raised in New Brunswick, and with Acadian / Mi’kmaq ancestors in both sides. This was a great history lesson.
Thank-you! 🌻
It may be a little late but I offer my services as a French pronunciation consultant. You really need it.
Great history podcast, though.

I’m a Leblanc /belrose family member great grndma grampa had 17 kids
LeBlanc is definitely an Acadian name, yup!
It's pronounced mik-maw or sometimes mik-maw-key
Mi'kmaq are the people, whereas Mi'kma'ki is the land/territory of the Mi'kmaq people.
The narrator butchered the pronunciation. I hope he corrects it in the future. Great video though.
Thibault is another of my Acadian branches

I would like to say my pronunciation improves in future episodes... But I cannot.

Made me laugh.
Intentionally?
