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.

10. Religion The majority of Cajuns, including my family are Catholic.

11. Ethic/Racial Background My family is Cajun-French and American.

12. Daily life/Routine I go to school, eat supper, watch TV, and go to bed.

13. 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.

14. Government Unlike all other states, Louisiana has Parishes instead of counties. There is one President for each Parish.

15. Family Traditions Every Christmas Eve, my family reads “The Cajun Night Before Christmas.”
