The Acadians (French: Acadiens, IPA: [akadjɛ̃]) are the descendants of the 17th-century French colonists who settled in Acadia (located in the Canadian Maritime provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and in the U.S. state of Maine). Acadia was a colony of New France. Although today most of the Acadians and Québécois are francophone Canadians, Acadia was a distinct colony of New France, and was geographically and administratively separate from the French colony of Canada (modern day Quebec), which led to Acadians and Québécois developing two rather distinct histories and cultures.[3] The settlers whose descendants became Acadians came from all the regions of France but coming predominantly directly from the cities.[4]

Prior to the British Conquest of Acadia in 1710, the Acadians lived for almost 80 years in Acadia. After the Conquest they lived under British rule for the next forty-five years. During the French and Indian War, British colonial officers and New England legislators and militia executed the Great Expulsion of 1755-1763. They deported more than 14,000 Acadians from the maritime region. Approximately one third perished. One historian compared this event to a contemporary ethnic cleansing while other historians have suggested the event is comparable with other deportations in history.[5]

Many later settled in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. Others were transported to France.[6] Later on many Acadians returned to the Maritime provinces of Canada, most specifically New Brunswick.

[edit] Pre-Deportation historyMain article: Port Royal, Nova Scotia
Acadia was the first permanent French settlement in North America, established at Port-Royal in 1607. In 1607 Henry IV, the King of France, granted Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts the right to colonize lands in North America between 40° and 60° north latitude. Arriving in 1604, the French settlers built a fort at the mouth of the St. Croix River, which separates present-day New Brunswick and Maine, on a small island named Île-Ste-Croix. The following spring, the settlers sailed across the bay to Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal) in present-day Nova Scotia.


Acadia (1754)During the 17th century, about sixty French families were established in Acadia. They developed friendly relations with the aboriginal Mi'kmaq, learning their hunting and fishing techniques. The Acadians lived mainly in the coastal regions, farming land reclaimed from the sea through diking. Living on the frontier between French and British territories, the Acadians found themselves on the front lines in each conflict between the powers.

The British Conquest of Acadia happened in 1710. Over the next forty-five years the Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath of allegiance to Britain. During this time period Acadians participated in various militia operations against the British and maintained vital supply lines to the French Fortress of Louisbourg and Fort Beausejour.[7] During the French and Indian War, the British sought to neutralize any military threat Acadians posed and to interrupt the vital supply lines Acadians provided to Louisbourg by deporting Acadians from Acadia.[8]


St.John River Campaign: Raid on Grimrose (present day Gagetown, New Brunswick). This is the only contemporaneous image of the Expulsion of the Acadians.Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath for various reasons. They did not want to take up arms against family members in the Mi'kmaq and French communities. They also believed that the oath would compromise their Roman Catholic faith. Acadians resistance to the British became especially apparent in 1750 when they began leaving peninsula Nova Scotia and moving toward the French colonies of Île Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island), Île Royale (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), and the contested terrain of present-day New Brunswick. Upon the beginning of the expulsion, this exodus from Nova Scotia escalated.

In the Great Expulsion (le Grand Dérangement), more than 14,000 Acadians (three-quarters of the Acadian population in Nova Scotia) were expelled, their homes burned and their lands confiscated. Families were split up, and the Acadians were deported throughout the British colonies in New England; thousands were transported to France. Gradually, some managed to make their way to Louisiana, creating the Cajun population and culture after mixing with others there.

Other Acadians returned to British North America, settling in coastal villages and in northern New Brunswick. Some settled in the region of Fort Sainte-Anne, now Fredericton, but were later displaced by the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists after the American Revolution.

In 2003, at the request of Acadian representatives, Queen Elizabeth II issued a Royal Proclamation acknowledging the deportation and establishing July 28 as an annual day of commemoration, beginning in 2005. The day is called the "Great Upheaval" on some English-language calendars.

Bonjour,
J'ai pu finir ma redaction:

Then, on February 13th I went to the museum dedicated in first Nations of Canada, I found that very boring … I learnt that The First Nations is a term of ethnicity that refers to the Aboriginal peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis.
But fortunately, on February 14th I went to the museum of Acadians, it was great! I learnt that The Acadians are the descendants of the 17th-century French colonists who settled in Acadia. Acadia was a colony of New France. The settlers whose descendants became Acadians came from all the regions of France but coming predominantly directly from the cities.

Hello,

I arrived to Canada on February 8th in the city of Waterloo, there was of the sun and I found that Canada was big and that there was a lot of people. Over there the Williams family welcomed me, they are very nice! On February 10th I went to see by train, a game of hokey on ice with the family Williams. Eagles against rabid dog! It was really surprising !
