#acadiens — Public Fediverse posts

Il arrive qu’un personnage de fiction devienne la voix d’un peuple entier. Évangéline porte en elle la douleur de la séparation et la lumière de l’espérance. Née d’un poème, elle plonge pourtant dans la réalité du Grand Dérangement. Son histoire traverse les siècles comme un écho persistant. Voici d’où elle vient et pourquoi elle demeure vivante.

A famous poem from my home. It memorializes and laments an element of Canadian identity that separates us from our cousins to the south. An #American poet writing about a #Scottish colony, seized from #France , but where the first true European settlers were impoverished outsiders, abandoned by the Ancien Régime, to be expelled and then ruled by England.

A complex and very specific element of an important Canadian identity, les #Acadiens. Expelled from their home, but they're still here. You can't really take Canada from Canadians, it never works out for the aggressor in the way they expect. Just a lot of unneeded bloodshed, tears and broken hearts.
