1.5 hours west of New Orleans is a rare culture living in tune with the swamp. Here, the locals spend their time removed from society, telling stories, hunting/cooking their food, and existing in a world that hasn't changed much in 100 years. Join me as we meet these fantastic people who open up their world to us.

Done ( Subscribed to Dat Louisiana Life). Thanks for a very interesting Saturday morning beginning. I remember seeing skinned neutra for sale piled high at the Lexington Market in Baltimore (Which has been going strong since the 1700s), and not knowing what they were. The neutra booth was not far from the Faidley's crab cake booth, which is where I was going to buy jumbo lump crab cakes from old Mrs. Faidley and family. Having no idea what neutra were - whole, stretched long and thin with huge teeth like a skinned beaver, they looked like giant rats or dead cats or raccoons - I had no idea what they were. When I got back home to Hampden in Baltimore and asked my former beau, Barry, what a neutra was, he said, "Giant rats, and people eat them." He said that he had eaten neutra, but wouldn't again. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Tara and family"s life, and hearing about Cajun tradition. It surprised me to hear how the United States tried to eradicate the Cajun culture by disallowing the language to be spoken in school.

I've lived all over the country. From Alaska to Georgia, California to New York. Big cities to small rural towns. It's not what people that have never been here think. There are a lot of misconceptions. Big cities are sick now, but there's so much more to the country though than NYC and LA. You couldn't pay me to visit NYC right now. Edit - Now I live in near a small town in southwest Colorado, with 1000 people and 1 stop light. Probably the best area of the country I've ever lived. Unfortunately, politicians 6 hours away in Denver are now trying to destroy us along with the Front Range cities

And Peters videos are 10x more entertaining at the soul of the video.. It's not just mind-numbing entertainment, its real genuine connection that touches your heart and soul. What does that say about the mainstream media? Peter tells the stories of the individual. He's not biased, he gives those individuals an uncensored platform to tell their true story, and he isn't putting people into a "box" or a "group". The story is raw and its real. It's not manipulated to portray things in a certain way, it just follows the flow of the reality of the people that the videos feature.

This video brought a tear to my eyes. I spent a year or so living and working in the New Orleans area back in the early 70's. My job took me to the cities and towns all over southern Louisiana. I got to different job sites via all sorts of transportation methods. Cars, trucks, tug boats, crew boats, float planes, amphibian planes (the Blue Goose-"Fantasy Island-Ze Plane, Ze Plane"), and helicopters. I got to eat meals prepared on the Guld Oil Platforms by 4 star world renowned Chefs. I also had Bourbon Street to experience along with my first Muffuletta sandwich. And the people there were the best part. Warm and friendly. It was a short time spent there but with a great deal of living rolled into that brief time period.

Back in 73' i lived just outside of Dulac, towards Houma. My house was on stilts above the water. The drop baskets were always full of Crabs, Mud bugs (crawfish) and Catfish's. All from just puuting food scraps in them. Everything was by boat...little market, bars, even the schools...all on barges anchored in the swamp. Hardly ever drove my car unless i went into Morgan City to go to "The Naughty Knight" bar, for some fun. Stayed outta New Orleans & the French Quarter always. Did go to Algeirs tho...cuz it was away from tourists...back then. A good solid life with good families in the bayous. Like she said " they go back many generations. Since the first came." If for some reason i were to become single again, Id be back in the swamp life...in a heartbeat... Good video!

The Cajuns are a completely different people from the French in New Orleans. The Cajuns are originally from the island of Acadia off the coast of the north Atlantic. They were kicked out or just left when the English took over the island. The people floated down the coast until they eventually ended up in the swamps of Louisiana. Because of their mistreatment in Acadia, they almost completely isolated themselves in the swamps. The French in New Orleans don't share that history. They came directly from France.

@kaisersadd3667 7 күн бұрын

Prior to the arrival of Acadians in Louisiana, there were already French speakers of various ethnicity that settled and they were called Creoles, which is not originally a term referring to a specific ethnic group but rather those who were born in the colony, regardless of their ethnic background. They could be of European descent (French and Spanish primarily, including the incoming Acadians), African Descent (West Africa primarily), or a mix of Both in which the term Creole is what it usually means in present times. But then again, the term Creole may have different meanings depending on the context.
