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

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. ❤

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

My acadian people after deportation follow the Indians to Chesapeake and grand Desert and that’s how I am part of the Acadian people that are still alive today and wondering how could such a tragedy off deportation and destroying the very soul of Acadia it is a perfect example of a long ago genocide which has to be corrected throughout Canada, especially in the Atlantic provinces
