I think this may be one of the most beautiful films ever recorded. Amazing to see Dr. Lee speak. Previously I had only read her works so it means a lot to me to put a face with her name. Thank yall for producing this beautiful work.

Me too. I would go back to Acadie. Canada doesn't allow citizenship to any descendant from Acadie. Some came down to Louisiana and had mixed with the M'iq M'hak and Huron. I am just learning about the Louisiana Cajuns in more depth.

Is this story based from one persons point of view? My Grandmother Father was CHITIMACHA! We grew up in Jonesville Louisiana.

This story is so sad and has been repeat so often in history with other indigenous people. What most people don’t get is how much we lose as humans when we lose are cultures. Unfortunately as I see it the world as a whole is losing there cultures and customs and it’s not making us better people. I know here in the USA people don’t stay together as a Community or a family. We are becoming more and more A nation of solitary people. That doesn’t make for a good community it makes us more of a selfish community and only care about the individual self.

Beautifully done. I get it. I am a Louisiana Walden and didn’t know of Native Americans named Walden. I know of few Europeans with then Walden name in Louisiana. I’m from Port Arthur TX. Raised by my German Baptist grandmother from Grant Louisiana on the Ouiski Chitto. I live on ma Cajun Grand mere land next to Lacassine Refuge on the Mermentau River. I’m a city girl moved to the wilderness. I’m a Baptist raised anti Catholic who had a Catholic grandmother and living in a Catholic community. I’m raised in a German/English way living in a Cajun French culture. I can only imagine how the Native Americans might struggle with the modern world and their ancestry. The North Louisiana whites and South Louisiana whites don’t always mix well. I’m learning to balance everything and it is what it is. Louisiana is such a gumbo of culture.

Yes brother we do know who our people are. I can wait to go back home to Louisiana. My mom left for texas long ago. But she told us our history. She is 80yrs old today. And still, speak of family. I am mixed with different types of Indians. Plus Scottish and French-run through my veins. They tried and still do till this day. But my mother told us to marry an Indian.

@Rachel Nan Giovanni wrote 2 King Francis 1 in 1524, that, 'From what we could tell from observation, N the last two respects they resemble the Orientals, particularly those from the farthest Sinarian regions'. The N.A. race R their own unique ppl that originated on the American continent & Negro R their own unique ppl of the Negro race, that R descendants of imported Nigerian, Igboo that A.A.blacks R. Thats why Chitimacha look Oriental, they R Mongoloid not Negroid..

@Rachel Nan Chitimacha like other tribes do marry non-Indians, so many R part Caucasian & part African. There R Chitmacha that had babies with A.A.'s too. Every Indian tribe N the U.S, have many mix-bloods N their tribes. It can't B helped, Bcuz tribes can't force their members 2 just marry tribal members.
