When the educational system was introduced in Louisiana in about 1920, the use of the cajun french language was forbidden. Only after world-war II, when the Cajuns were used as translators, their language became accepted. A big part of today's Cajun youth grows up bilingual, english and french. To teach their children in french, teachers from the french part of Canada were employed. Their culture, language, food and last but not least music is given from each generation to the next. The oil and gas industry are the most important income sources which offers many jobs for the region. Their motto "laissez les bons temps rouler" and their hospitality makes a holiday stay an unforgettable experience.

If you want to look up the word "Creole" in your encyclopedia, you'll find different meanings. The descendants of French and Spanish emigrants count as creoles, but also africans and mulats. The mix of these different tribes and cultures makes Louisiana an interesting traveling destination, where you'll always can explore something new.
