Thank you so much to the producers of this documentary. It is a very important and critical time in 'Canadian' history (I use the modern term 'Canadian', not the historic French term which referred to what is now Quebec). In this time of truth and reconciliation, we must never forget that it is imperialism that is the gravest of threats to freedom loving people, not colonialism necessarily. Freedom!
My x in-laws were from there , my father in law was descended from the shoulder who was a big part of the expulsion , they put those people in the boats, than was rewarded by getting the farm land! And still live on the land !and are quite proud of the past
The Acadian Museum was instrumental in getting the British Crown to at least acknowledge the historical injustice. You can read about it here: acadianmuseum.com/apology.html
They must be correct about the high fertility rate; one of my Acadian ancestors had 19 children. Honestly, when I watch any videos with Acadian descendants, often I am able to identify facial features similar to mine and my father's family. Its a bit surreal. The amount of distant cousins I must have is astonishing.
You should consider a DNA test, I did one a few years back, and I probably get a few emails a month about someone matching my DNA. usually a 3rd or 4th cousin
My 2 main Acadian lines are Thibodeau and LeJeune... Emilie Thibodeau was my 5th great Grandmother on the Jolin side and my Maternal great Gramma was Emma LeJeune. In both cases, their ancestors escaped to Québec, while many of their cousins were deported.
21:53 I would argue that you are completely wrong, and quite literally, don't know the "first" thing about history. During King Philip's War, between June 20, 1675 - April 12, 1678, English militia exterminated 600 Naragansettes, and took the remainders as hostages or sold them into slavery. It was actually considered to be the biggest war in colonial American history. That War basically eradicated the Naragansette race.
May our ancestors never be forgotten ⚜️
My father was LeBlanc and my mother was Robichaud. Acadian to the core.
She made me cry at the around the 41:00 mark.
I never think of how our ancestors must have felt.
I just feel so grateful they made it. ❤
Ce documentaire a bien touché le coeur de cet Acadien
Incredibly moving!

I am from and still living in " Acadia" Acadians were both Catholic and Protestant.
My ancestors lived in Grand Pré until the expulsion.
My x in-laws were from there , my father in law was descended from the shoulder who was a big part of the expulsion , they put those people in the boats, than was rewarded by getting the farm land! And still live on the land !and are quite proud of the past
Genocide at its best, and NOBODY ever had to answer for this tremendous crime.

My nana and Nampa had 19 youngins too....does Genier ring. A bell? They moved to caribou Maine and grew potatoes
@@Pk-io6xemine is like that too...3rd or 4th cousin
Ok, i had no idea they hired Acadians as hired hands! The audacity.
Sounds like they were black 🤷🏽♂️
I would love to be able to talk to people who could help me learn about my ancestors that I traced back to Nova Scotia.

My family is Cajun. We were Acadian and catholic. It's been in my family history.
They set fire to the churches with the fit men inside.
Joseph Broussard was my 6 grandfather

Later, Spain and even Mexico were French because of Napoleon
Is it possible to obtain an audio transcript of this beautiful video.
Thanks for asking. Not that we know of.

All firearms had to be yearned in. Then the horror started. Today we have our own firearms confiscation going on. Never give up your guns……
acadians were catholic.
If Louisiana was Spanish, it was part of Mexico.
Spain bought it from France after The French Revolution.
I’m also a Broussard.

Précisons que les Acadiens n'étaient pas des Canadiens au moment de la déportation en 1755.
C'est vrai
Le terme Canadien a cette epoque etait utilise pour designer les Francais nee dans la Valle du st-laurent
@@ericst-laurent8161 Vous avez raison et c'est en 1774 que les Britanniques ont créé "the Province of Quebec".qui allait du Labrador au grands Lacs.
