Mardell Sibley is organizing a family reunion https://www.facebook.com/CajunPrairieAFamilyReunion in February
focusing on the Vidrine and related families.
What I think is cool is that she is calling it a Creole family reunion. She says the reason she calls it Creole is
because she at first called it Cajun which is not unusual. Of course, she is like me and a lot of
us. We all lived through a time where
Cajun was promoted and we all adopted, as Carl Brasseaux explained numerous
times, “a mythical Acadian heritage.” Carl
Brasseaux as well as scholars such as Winston Deville talked about this subject
so many times. Anyway, I think it’s good
that she’s calling it a Creole reunion.
All people are invited which is different but which is the way it should
be. Because I’m bored with the absurd
artificial segregation of Cajuns and
Creoles.
