Description
Louisiana’s bayous are home to some of the most unique ecosystems and societies on the planet. For centuries, native tribes, immigrants and ancient creatures have coexisted in these vast wetlands. The bayous play a major role in Louisiana’s economy, as a source of natural resources and a destination for tourists.
Choctaw Indians have inhabited Louisiana’s bayous for centuries. The bayous not only provided the food and shelter they needed, but also offered protection from invaders. The native United Houma Nation also live in the bayous, along with Atakapa-Ishak Indians, earning their livings by shrimping and fishing.
Many of Louisiana’s bayou residents, called Cajuns, speak a form of French unique to the region. The Cajun lifestyle encompasses a mixture of Creole and homespun culture, which has produced distinctive styles of music, dance and cooking. Cajun music, called zydeco, includes elements of the diverse origins and backgrounds of the people who have inhabited the bayous, encompassing African rhythms, American jazz and Canadian folk songs.
