•  Acadians

  The Acadians are the descendants of the seventeenth-century French colonists who settled in Acadia. Although today most of the Acadians and Québécois are francophone Canadians, Acadia was founded in a region geographically and administratively separate from Quebec ("Canada" at this time), which led to their developing two rather distinct histories and cultures. The settlers whose descendants became Acadians did not all come from the same region in France.
