  2. Food • Cajuns are known for our spicy hot food like gumbo, my favorite, and jambalaya. Jambalaya Gumbo

  3. Music “Let the Good Times Roll” Cajun music is different from any other. Cajun music is upbeat and the focus is on the accordion.

  6. Holidays • Cajuns celebrate Mardi Gras which means Fat Tuesday. It’s a day full of parades, music, and festivities to start off our Lenten season.

Family History • My ancestors came from the south of France. • The Broussard families of Louisiana trace their ancestry to two Acadian brothers, Joseph and Alexandre, also called Beausoleil, who arrived in New Orleans in 1765. • In Louisiana, we learned how to live off the land by fishing and hunting.
