The Cajuns are an ethnic group consisting primarily of the descendants of Acadians who settled in Louisiana after they were expelled from Acadia, a former French colony (now the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) in 1755 as a result of their refusal to swear allegiance to the British Crown and because of the British desire to settle the fertile Acadian farmlands with British subjects.

the word Cajun is sort of a contraction of Canadian.
