At the time, both Kouri-Vini and Louisiana French were already on the decline. It is only since the 2010s have people been attempting to revive the languages and even then progress is still a bit slow

@@thewisp7447 It was, but you know, in the 1970s, there were around 1 million French and Creole speakers in Louisiana. And we've been working on trying to revitalize our languages since long before the 2010s. It really started in the 1960s with the establishment of CODOFIL. But CODOFIL mainly focused on standardized international French until the 1980s when people started writing poetry and other literature in Louisiana French and promoting OUR variety of French. They also had people in the '80s and '90s at that time working on documenting Louisiana Creole, which was first documented in the late 1800s and appeared in some French language newspapers in Louisiana at the time. There still weren't really any efforts to promote the usage of Louisiana Creole until the early 2000s, though. That's when I started getting involved in the movements for both languages, Louisiana French and Louisiana Creole, after I graduated high school in 2004.

I grew up in the '90s, and this is how it was for me growing up down in the lower Bayou Lafourche region. I heard French all around me everywhere I went in my community. My grandparents always spoke it around me, and being the curious child that I was, I asked them to teach me some.

They were used and abused as well. They to were forced to care for German children. How do you think they were treated by their people and communities?

Creole food is cosmopolitan food, created in New Orleans with African, European and Native American roots. The French influence is strongest, but vestiges of Italian, Spanish, German, and even Caribbean can be found in some dishes. The essence of Creole is found in rich sauces, local herbs, red ripe tomatoes, and the prominent use of seafood, caught in local waters. It is associated with the old-line kitchens of New Orleans, where generations of traditions are carried on today. Think of rich, roux-based gumbo, shrimp creole, grits and grillades, redfish courtbouillon and more

And from there, most of those 14 probably had children starting around the 80s, and now those kids (your generation) are adults with kids of their own. She has a ton of descendants just based on logic. You should hook up with the others in the comments, they're your cousins!

We call what she was making at the beginning "Hogs head cheese". It is rather popular in south Louisiana.

im 38 so my "simpler times" was the 90s ... so to hear her talk about the 70s being too fast goes to show its all relative and every generation looks back at their youth as the golden era

@MetalsirenIXI 9 ай бұрын

Yep, everyone thinks their times were "simpler". It's all just nostalgia for maybe better times in the past while also ignoring the problems from that era. I certainly do not want to live in 1970s america.

I-10 had only been around for 13 years by this point. Her youth was vastly different as a result. Doctors made house calls and collected cash money for payment. They were using industrial equipment to process meat in their kitchen. The highway changed all that; outsiders came in and started forcing a different way of business. Business interests lobbied cities to make raising chicken or hogs a crime. People often used to drink their water from wells or cisterns. They put people on treated city water around this time. If she died in 2001 and was 55 in the video that means she lived to be 86.

I'm from Rayne, LA and Eunice is about 25 minutes from there. I'm in my early thurties but this is so nostalgic. They talk exactly like my folk. The grinder they used is what my grandmother used to make sausage and boudin. This made me so emotional. I have lots of French heritage on my dad's side and they sound exaclty like this.

My grandad had that exact meat grinder. I remember he would pull it out and let me grind up the meat when I was a kid. That was in the late 90s. I miss him

Everythang is slower hea, and I Love it. Love being creole. Wouldn't change a thing.
