The Acadians, French-speaking settlers more commonly known as "Cajuns," first took up residence in what is now Eastern Canada's Maritime provinces, part of Quebec, and present-day Maine in the 17th century, only to be driven down the coastline to Louisiana by the British. Readers may find a long article about the "Acadians" under "A-Br" in the Multicultural America section of EveryCulture.com. Laid out in alphabetical order, the site also offers detailed information about Apaches, Hmong Americans, Slovenian Americans, and many other groups. The articles are well-written, offer rich information on a range of cultural practices and histories, and usually culminate in a number of resources for further inquiry, such as lists of newsletters, magazines, newspapers, and websites.
