History of the Cajuns: Encyclopedia of Cajun Life
Families

Family ties are one of the main characteristics of the Cajun people. It is not uncommon for today's Cajun to be living less than an hour away from the spot where his first ancestors settled in Louisiana 200 years ago. The longing to be with family is one of the factors that has kept the Cajun identity so strong through time and troubles.
