What do you
think a cajun is? You might be surprised. Cajuns make their
living off the land by farming, fishing, hunting, trapping, etc. While
many of the older cajuns spoke little or no English, most now do. As a
matter of fact, many have lost their dialect and younger cajuns do not speak
French at all. Efforts have been made to preserve the Cajun French
heritage. Many older cajuns had to quit school at an early age to work
in factories and help their parents fish. That is no longer the case
and many younger cajuns have had the benefit of schooling, even higher
education. So when you hear that cajuns are dumb, just
remember, many were not able to go to school because of economic necessity;
however, cajuns are very wise!!
