@@thewisp7447 It was, but you know, in the 1970s, there were around 1 million French and Creole speakers in Louisiana. And we've been working on trying to revitalize our languages since long before the 2010s. It really started in the 1960s with the establishment of CODOFIL. But CODOFIL mainly focused on standardized international French until the 1980s when people started writing poetry and other literature in Louisiana French and promoting OUR variety of French. They also had people in the '80s and '90s at that time working on documenting Louisiana Creole, which was first documented in the late 1800s and appeared in some French language newspapers in Louisiana at the time. There still weren't really any efforts to promote the usage of Louisiana Creole until the early 2000s, though. That's when I started getting involved in the movements for both languages, Louisiana French and Louisiana Creole, after I graduated high school in 2004.
I grew up in the '90s, and this is how it was for me growing up down in the lower Bayou Lafourche region. I heard French all around me everywhere I went in my community. My grandparents always spoke it around me, and being the curious child that I was, I asked them to teach me some.
@@thewisp7447 thats because my generation was told not to speak it or learn it, it would hold us back. My mama would punish us if she heard us speak it. now i only know a few words. so sad.
It kinda shows eventually we all talk about simpler times. Eventually you’ll look back again and realize things have changed again. Might even crave what you had prior or your life will get better and you’ll move onward.
That looks so good! I’m Mexican American and my grandparents always had a pig head cooking in the ground . Nobody made a a fuss about where to sleep. All the little cousins on blankets on the floor giggling until 2 am. Good times ❤
I had a Creole co-worker (there’s a fairly large number of Louisiana Creoles in Los Angles) who had a lot of old family recipes. He brought some red beans and rice he made to work one time and I have never had red beans and rice that good before nor since. 🫘 🍚
My great grandparents were Louisiana Creole.Was super close with my great grandpa. I am very proud of my creole heritage. Want to go to Louisiana so bad.
@AreTheyWhiteOrPink idiot, black meant slave status. In america we all the same people no matter the city, we just have different accents. These are American Indians, not carribeans not Haitians or non of that. They were here before thr yts came like the rest of us. They are politically now Foundational Black Americans
@@dangerislander We didnt stem from Haitian Creoles. Haitians came to Louisiana during their revolution but Louisiana also had its own Creole population. They intermarried within the Louisiana culture.
I’m one proud Creole woman especially after watching this reminds me of being with family in Kinder, Louisiana!!! My great aunts and uncles cousins and friends Goodtimes I will never forget!
@@amosjohnson863 I remember them days cousin would roast a whole pig in the country make a fire pit turn on some good music and everybody having a good time! Talk about the good old days we also have roots there Breaux and Gabriel are some of the last names of my family out there!
I remember times like this with my Creole and Cajun grandparents, mother, aunts, etc. I used to blow into those skins when I was helping them make boudin, sausage or whatever they were making. They're all gone now but the memories remain. Thanks for sharing this heart-warming video!
She preached from 3:19 to the end of this video, it touched me so much, made me think about the gatherings my family had in the old days, but all of them are now gone and I miss them and the family time we shared "bring the old days back"
This brought back so many child hood memories. We would drive from Chi to Louisiana every year. I can almost smell, the wooden floors, the paneling on the wall, the gumbo cooking on the stove, the fresh smell of hung dry cloths off the line. Man I miss it😢❤
@@calibean7736 That's how it was, ol school southern black American families. This lady reminds me of my grandmother and that's why I clicked the video. She literally looks like her. Crazy, small world...If only we knew what we had then. Sadly families aren't this close anymore.
@@CandyCoated96 I’m back! That hog head cheese is similar to what my grandmother made but she served hers warm you would roll it up with picante in a warm soft corn tortilla. YUUUUM😂❤️ I’m salivating. Everybody sitting around her big black skillet with a stack of warm tortillas. 🥲 Miss my Grandma.
@@calibean7736 Wow. That sounds good. Great memories. My grandma made hers homemade aswell. She made hers pickled and spicy and we sliced it and we put it on crackers. The good ol days. I wish families were like they use to be.
Really, how are they related to you? Does anyone in the family still have these reels or more like them? Would be awesome if you could get them to share more if they have it. We gotta get more culture up for people to see
I'm 42 now. I live in Montgomery Al. But I grew in a small village walking distance from the Mississippi river. Between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. My great uncles used to fall off into french when speaking. It's probably not completely gone, buy we were kinda ashame of that way of talking. But now I realize how rich that was
Unfortunately majority of its speakers have died off and they did not teach it to the youth back then because it was a code way of speaking and it was against the law 😢
That young girl was gorgeous!!!! And the french accents, and spoken language is awesome! I took 7 years of french, I see now the influence it had on the american south. So cool!
@@RAJOHN-ke7mc I think your comment has set us back 400 years. Most of these encounters were not by choice. The women who chose this way of life were a means to help their families out of a tragic, tormented, and demeaning life. Would you make such a statement to a Holocaust female family member? They were used and abused as well. They to were forced to care for German children. How do you think they were treated by their people and communities? Think before you pass those fingers across that keyboard.
This reminds me of growing up creole.....gumbo was a staple in my family...now some restaurants charge over 20 dollars per bowl for something that was considered a poor man's stew
Every generation talks about how life just isn't the same anymore. This lady is reminiscing about old times, meanwhile it's the 70s. I'm sure her kids today say they wish there was no time like the 70s. I think humans will always be in a perpetual state of nostalgia.
Bruh - Respect to u- BUT- I'm sitting here WATCHING this with MY FINE Creole lady- Vibing - and Chillin- do not mess with my groove-- my cup overflows!!!
I love my southern culture and especillly my African Diaspora cultures!!! The first thing I noticed is how mama cut the greens just like mamas do in all of Africa, with the knife in hand cutting bunches from the other hand. We are still one people even when language and names and oceamns and time separate us.
@chrisboldennewsome9146 they just good old American Indians. Nothing to do with carribeain people. They are what you hate to love now called Foundational Black Americans. She said " they call us creol people I dunno why they call us that". She just what we call country. Damn this is how it was for all of us mostly all throughout our land America. Different recipes but same thing, piled up, eating and chilling
One side of my grandparents are from Saint Martinville La & and my other set are from Carencro La I’m 35 and traditions like this lasted well into the 90s. The hardest part about time passing is the passing of those love ones with it. Very nostalgic it makes my heart full!
Creole food is cosmopolitan food, created in New Orleans with African, European and Native American roots. The French influence is strongest, but vestiges of Italian, Spanish, German, and even Caribbean can be found in some dishes. The essence of Creole is found in rich sauces, local herbs, red ripe tomatoes, and the prominent use of seafood, caught in local waters. It is associated with the old-line kitchens of New Orleans, where generations of traditions are carried on today. Think of rich, roux-based gumbo, shrimp creole, grits and grillades, redfish courtbouillon and more
Idk. My ppl aren’t from the east coast. Our original food was mainly buffalo and turnips. All that pig head shit look gross. Idk bout the creole cuisine
Wow imagine she's saying life was too fast in 1970's I wonder what she thinks of life now in 2023. Hopefully she's still alive to know. It's amazing to see how times have changed.
i showed this to my mom and she definitely had a nostalgic feeling of her growing up with her grandmother and helping her cook at a young age just like the kids in this video thanks for posting this! my mom definitely enjoyed it too
So similar to the way I was raised. I like how the toothbrushes were hanging in a bin in the kitchen. I’m number 10 out of 12. I was mostly raised up with my nieces and nephews . A time when everyone really loved each other.
I'm from a family of 18. My mama who is Creole had 18 children and raised 18. I'm from the Plaquemine Parish of Iberville in Louisiana. This reminds me of us cookin in the kitchen with my mama, sisters, grandma (Na Na), and my aunties. Proud.🌷❤️
Awww, I love to see videos back in the days of my state ❤ Rarely get to see things like this because Louisiana isn’t talked about as often as other states.
I was so confused why so many people in the comments are saying this video is of their family. I was thinking "ok, some of ya'll must be lyin" -- but then I realised: she said she raised 14 children. And from there, most of those 14 probably had children starting around the 80s, and now those kids (your generation) are adults with kids of their own. She has a ton of descendants just based on logic. You should hook up with the others in the comments, they're your cousins!
@@PlusSizeKayanna I agree! Please post more videos of this family! My Dad is from Lake Charles, LA & his Aunt Lucille speaks French, just like this lady did!
I just came back from Louisiana this past weekend, I was there celebrating our Grandmother's 100th birthday with my family. Coushatta, Louisiana is where my daddy's side of the family is from.
I'm so glad my family and i found value im slowing down. This remindtme very much of us come harvest time for our garden. The picking, the shucking,the canner and snapping of beans. I can't wait until qe start raising our own meat. I can already see how its creating very found deep rooted memories in my children. It's exactly like ahe said, like a holiday.
My grandmother told me about times like this when the whole family would come together after the butcher Of a hog and just have fun and live life while the adults were speaking French and worked I wish I could have been there the culture 🙏😊
I'm from Rayne, LA and Eunice is about 25 minutes from there. I'm in my early thurties but this is so nostalgic. They talk exactly like my folk. The grinder they used is what my grandmother used to make sausage and boudin. This made me so emotional. I have lots of French heritage on my dad's side and they sound exaclty like this.
I'm from Eunice and I miss those old days of family coming together to cook and enjoy each other company. I'm trying to figure out who this family is because my family has to know them.
I would guess that most of the people in the video didn't ID as black. That came later, and most definitely after a lot of them left Louisiana and moved to other states.
It's just something about nostalgic content that never gets old. So relatable.
Amen ,I’m from central Texas and I grew up very similar and I’m trying to keep those traditions now and forever 🙏🏻📿🙏🏻
Yes!! Especially since this country is in such turmoil I long for this nostalgia.. the good bad and ugly nostalgia
How is it relatable u don't live in the 1970's so you can't relate
@christianjones4644 why such hostility? Maybe they grew up in this Era...
Yes mam great values of old days gone.
I love that little snippet of how she just casually speaks Creole/French. It just sings off her tongue. So beautiful to hear.

I was so confused why so many people in the comments are saying this video is of their family. I was thinking "ok, some of ya'll must be lyin" -- but then I realised: she said she raised 14 children.
And from there, most of those 14 probably had children starting around the 80s, and now those kids (your generation) are adults with kids of their own. She has a ton of descendants just based on logic. You should hook up with the others in the comments, they're your cousins!
Is she still alive? We need more videos! Create a UA-cam channel!!

I agree! Please post more videos of this family!
My Dad is from Lake Charles, LA & his Aunt Lucille speaks French, just like this lady did!
The camera person shown us the tooth brushes close to the food that she prepares.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Oh the memories!

I just came back from Louisiana this past weekend, I was there celebrating our Grandmother's 100th birthday with my family. Coushatta, Louisiana is where my daddy's side of the family is from.
Video ended too soon for me. I'm from Eunice and recognize the young boy churning the pork, just can't put my finger on his name.
My ppl my ppl❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Creole language is one of love and history
Where is this full documentary i remember watching it but can't find it
right....I'd like to know as well
I'm so glad my family and i found value im slowing down. This remindtme very much of us come harvest time for our garden. The picking, the shucking,the canner and snapping of beans. I can't wait until qe start raising our own meat. I can already see how its creating very found deep rooted memories in my children. It's exactly like ahe said, like a holiday.
Look at my auntie!!! ❤
She is beautiful, her energy, accent, and smile, this was awesome to see.
My grandmother told me about times like this when the whole family would come together after the butcher Of a hog and just have fun and live life while the adults were speaking French and worked I wish I could have been there the culture 🙏😊
Aww Man this is a Nice Gem 💎 here.I'm Showing My Mom and Dad during Sunday Dinner Tomorrow.😎👍🏾
me watching this to see if it's my family - and OMG it is!!
I'm from Rayne, LA and Eunice is about 25 minutes from there. I'm in my early thurties but this is so nostalgic. They talk exactly like my folk. The grinder they used is what my grandmother used to make sausage and boudin. This made me so emotional. I have lots of French heritage on my dad's side and they sound exaclty like this.
My granny used to eat that hog head cheese! I couldn’t touch it, I’m glad to know that there is actually hog head in it.
I just loved how she gathered him and they put the substitutes lol 😂 raised 14 had 16. I love black history. Thanks for this content ❤
I'm from Eunice and I miss those old days of family coming together to cook and enjoy each other company. I'm trying to figure out who this family is because my family has to know them.
This is some OG family shit right here boss...I love thus because I came from this.

My ganny ganny was from Louisiana and the way she talked when she was upset and when she had her Gin lol 😂 oh I missed that ❤❤❤
14 -16 kids???!. Damn...thats a lot kids and she looks good!!!❤
Hello from Cane River, Louisiana.
Man I can feel the love in this video... This is how the black community got down back in the day... She said ( I had 16 now I have ~foeTheen).
I would guess that most of the people in the video didn't ID as black. That came later, and most definitely after a lot of them left Louisiana and moved to other states.
She literally called her husband a bastard and he told her to shut up
