Expulsion Canadian Experience

[@brandonfrasiersr.5884]

May our ancestors never be forgotten ⚜️

[@acaydia2982]

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. ❤

[@livvielizard7409]

Hearing about the hardship of family's being torn apart is what got me the most. We Acadian have a strong sense of family. I couldn't imagine the pain they felt.

[@MarioDoiron]

Ce documentaire a bien touché le coeur de cet Acadien

[@robertleblanc2675]

My father was LeBlanc and my mother was Robichaud. Acadian to the core.

[@AnnetteTurner-b2w]

My family is also a part of this Story, my DNA takes me a long for the ride.Hello long-ago cousins In French Canada.

[@treesearch1]

❤fabulous thank you ❤

[@sinclairlanier4081]

Incredibly moving!

[@robertleblanc2675]

Genocide at its best, and NOBODY ever had to answer for this tremendous crime.

[@acadianmuseum]

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

[@og_bone]

Bien Merci

[@stlhsal]

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!

[@livvielizard7409]

My father is Goguen and my mother is Cormier. 100% Acadian and a descendent of Joseph Gueguen who was among the 3,500 Acadian refugees who gathered in the Miramichi region and who endured famine and harsh living conditions in 1759

[@ice-mp5dx]

I am from and still living in " Acadia" Acadians were both Catholic and Protestant.

Nova Scotia...😊

[@kathyfritz91623]

Excuse my ignorance, I’m doing my family tree and I have many family ties up there. Please help me understand are the Protestants connected to the Jesuit’s? A great grandfather of mine was commissioned land from them not in Acadia though. Half of my line comes from Acadia and the other half Montreal.

[@ceciliacrocker390]

@kathyfritz91623 , Google french catholic and protestants at odds ,France 1800s for a start ... hope this helps

[@anneshelfer1196]

My ancestors lived in Grand Pré until the expulsion.

[@daniellecasanova1582]

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.

Call Annapolis local library, start there maybe ?

[@ceciliacrocker390]

Pubnico, Nova Scotia is where Acadian history is celebrated yearly...

[@HamletsMill25920]

In the battle of elephants, it is the grass that suffers. Brave people who kept their language and heritage alive even when they were punished for it. Everyone talks about the Quebecers and even the First Nations but not a peep about this.

[@ceciliacrocker390]

Much of the names of the original french-Indan families are not shared in these Acadian stories, we either get french or British names shared... We are already forgetting history, 😢

[@lorimooney2427]

Today the flames in La Canada near Burbank Calif bring me to this magnificent CBC documentary. A previous time of expulsion by fire and land grab. My ancestors were Guimond from Old Perche in France. Left from Nantes to Grand Pre. Tories put them on ships south, some to New Rochelle NY, the rest to North Carolina. Family split, father lost at sea or POW and left widow with toddler in 1755, saved by in law kinfolk. That boy grew to a silent wrath and put on the uniform of the Carolina Militia in 1776. That Acadian injustice was at heart of their brave resistance at Battles of Guildford and King's Mountain. And we must never forget their sacrifice.

[@ArcticBanshee]

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.

[@Pk-io6xe]

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

[@suzangreenier8387]

My nana and Nampa had 19 youngins too....does Genier ring. A bell? They moved to caribou Maine and grew potatoes

[@suzangreenier8387]

​@@Pk-io6xemine is like that too...3rd or 4th cousin

[@sabrybroussard6832]

Joseph Broussard was my 6 grandfather

[@imhere9745Elaine]

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

[@ceciliacrocker390]

All the lands are now in the hands of land grantees and they get to pass it down to their own families, sad history 😢

[@AnnetteTurner-b2w]

My paw paw proud to be part of these wonderful people, born and raised in Raceland La, Bayou La Fourche. He had in 1960 s the goose down mattress his grandmother made .

[@FernandoGomez-hh9jm]

¡ THE ACADIANS WERE CATHOLIC !

[@HomerMann-tw7ci]

We’re is the operative word my matriarchal line is both acadian and Catholic, im still acadian, but I’m pagan

[@ceciliacrocker390]

French-Indan mix were catholic . French married native woman and she lost her native status.

[@lauriejules1371]

Ok, i had no idea they hired Acadians as hired hands! The audacity.

[@toddfisher4533]

Sounds like they were black 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

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.

[@mercedespicot6543]

Is it possible to obtain an audio transcript of this beautiful video.

[@acadianmuseum]

Thanks for asking. Not that we know of.

[@ceciliacrocker390]

My ancestor was the barron of Pubnico, NS during the 7 year wa*. This is also the history not shared...

[@johnnyeff3494]

I live in New Brunswick and several of my ancestors were deported. I do not remember this series being on the CBC. Does anyone know if this doc can also be found in French?

[@johnnyeff3494]

And by the way, this doc is amazing. It really captures the essence of the Acadian people. Should be a must-see for all Canadian students.

[@youcanimaginetoo]

Later, Spain and even Mexico were French because of Napoleon

[@dawnwebb4183]

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.

[@michellesirois6954]

Thats what i THOUGHT

[@AnnetteTurner-b2w]

La Blanc is also on my ancestor s who settled in South Louisiana.

[@nooope-o4t]

I lovvve acadian poutine !!! Not the french fry one from Quebec. And roupie pieeee mmmm Acadian food 😋🤤

[@michellesirois6954]

Poutine is NOT acadian....it originated from Montreal in the1950's at a diner.sorry to disappoint😉

[@michellesirois6954]

Now...if you had said Ployes i'd agree with you☺️

[@nooope-o4t]

@@michellesirois6954 I think your thinking of the fry poutine ... I'm talking the mashed potatoes one. Kinda like a roupie pie.

[@lindakay9552]

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.

[@robertleblanc2675]

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……

[@youcanimaginetoo]

If Louisiana was Spanish, it was part of Mexico.

[@acaydia2982]

Spain bought it from France after The French Revolution. I’m also a Broussard.

[@tcentral6820]

acadians were catholic.

[@ceciliacrocker390]

And many were french-Indan mix

[@regentmartin4854]

Précisons que les Acadiens n'étaient pas des Canadiens au moment de la déportation en 1755.

[@acadianmuseum]

C'est vrai
