  1. Finally a decent article about the #LostCanadian new option for people with Canadian ancestors.

    There was someone approved recently 9 generations out from the #Acadian displacement. It's real. If you can prove your Canadian ancestors, you can claim citizenship. It's not naturalization.

  2. The stupendously credulous #MAGA morons in ‘#Cajun Country’, #Louisiana that keep re-electing #MikeJohnson to #Congress are making me think the British had an unofficial reason for the #Acadian expulsion from the Maritime area of what had been New #France during the French and Indian War: “The French Canadians can stay, but those dumbfuckers need to go!” (Joking)🤔 huffpost.com/entry/mike-johnso

    People don’t inherit the sins of their fathers, but they DO inherit their #DNA 🧬.

  7. For #TuneTuesday this week, we're sharing #MyFavMusic2024.

    P'tit Belliveau, a one-of-a-kind musician from Nova Scotia who sings in Acadian French and English, put out an excellent country/synth-pop/hip-hop/metal album in March. I haven't stopped listening to it all year. This is definitely one of its quieter and prettier tunes.

  8. Since the Congrès Mondial Acadien in August, which I missed, I've been using their schedule of #Acadian #music acts that played to discover music, new to me. cma2024.ca/en/program/artists/
    In case anyone is interested, I'll make a thread of my favourites so far. These are just the ones that I happen to have looked into, enjoyed, and found some way of purchasing online. More to come, I'm sure, as I slowly make my way through.

  9. @brian_gettler Thank you for letting more people know about P'Tit Belliveau. Big talent! However, #Chiac is not Acadian French (but a patois of #Acadian #French with many English and Mi'kmaq loanwords). P'Tit Belliveau is from #NovaScotia, whereas $Chiac is typically spoken in a part of #NewBrunswick.

    "P’tit Belliveau confirme qu’il ne faut pas confondre l’accent #acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse avec le chiac du Nouveau-Brunswick."

  10. Confession: This is my first bowl of grits. Amazing and creamy and you don't want the bowl to end. If you are ever at the Montrose Brown Line, go to Spoken Cafe right under the CTA and order the Acadian Grits. And the coffee is half priced if you get a mug!

  12. When (micro)continents collide

    Intensely folded rocks

    Merrimack / Central Maine Trough smashed as #Avalonia joined Laurasia to start assembling Pangea in the #Acadian #Orogeny, about 375 million years ago.

    Knowing some #geology makes hiking more fun!

  13. @wikitree

    After watching the video short, head over to G2G and tell us how you connect to Sidney Poitier.

    It has been interesting seeing a lot of #Acadian connections on #WikiTree

  14. Happy National Acadian Day to my fellow Acadians. Special shoutout to my New England Acadians!

  15. Heard that Dano LeBlanc, creator of Acadieman passed away. Used to watch it years ago; I'm not Acadian or from the East Coast but the dialect and humour felt very familiar to where I grew up in Eastern Ontario. RIP

  16. Making plans to go to the 2024 #AcadianCongress in #NewBrunswick to meet a bunch of cousins for the first time. Truly looking forward to this. Just learned that my family used to live in Prince Edward Island, before they were forcibly removed by the British during the great expulsion. This is my beloved grandmother who raised me, and her extensive Acadian and Métis family lineage. #Genealogy #Acadian #FamilyHistory #Metis #Ancestry #genchat #geneadon

  17. While looking for something completely different, I happened across this amazing article about how Mi’kmaq were perceived as witches in what are now the Atlantic provinces of Canada. This is a treasure trove about racism, witch hunts, and colonialism. erudit.org/en/journals/ethno/2 #WitchHunt #Witchcraft #Superstition #Racism #Mikmaq #Acadian #ColonialHistory #Canada #Indigenous #History #WitchCraze #Sorcery #Mikmaw #Wabanaki #Newfoundland #NewBrunswick #Colonization #Folklore #Appalachians #Magic

  18. Quincy or #BlueHills #Porphyry #Granite
    An alkaline, nonorogenic granite intruded into #Avalonia in the #Silurian / #Ordovician as it cruised from peri-#Gondwana to #Laurentia, before assembling #Pangea in the #Acadian #Orogeny (#Devonian). It’s coarse, with the #phenocrysts of amphiboles(?) (possibly riebeckite?)…I’m no petrologist. From@the Eaton’s Pond conservation area@at the #Braintree #Quincy border. My photos.

  19. I'm really enjoying P'tit Belliveau - Un homme et son piano. It's worth checking out the fine year-end list from @digits for more great albums released in 2022! #Music #Musique #Acadian #Acadie ptitbelliveau.bandcamp.com/alb
