Cajuns are a group of people who live in the Southeastern USA, particularly the Louisiana bayou area. They were originally from the French colonies in Canada, but when the British won the Seven Years' War (or French and Indian War); they got control of these areas. A lot of the French stayed there, to become the modern Acadians and Quebecois; but the Cajuns left and went to live in the French colonies which later became Louisiana. Cajuns are one of the many groups who make Nawlins so quirky; and they gave the world Cajun Food, Cajun Accents, and crazy Mardi Gras parties.
