July 2006

I moved to the Prairie des Femmes on July 14, 2006. On the 30th I went to the first Table Francaise at Nunu's in Arnaudville when it was on the bayou.

La Prairie des Femmes

La Prairie des Femmes

 La Prairie des Femmes is the historical name of an unincorporated community in French Louisiana where I make my home with my family. She is a pre-colonial prairie that was a refuge for Native, Cajun and Creole women across pre-history into modern times. As a resident of the Prairie des Femmes, French teacher and writer I have dedicated my life to learning about my culture through our land and folklore. This blog was begun anonymously in 2012 as a way to share my research, writing, art, photography, ethnobotany and perspective as a bilingual woman in this digital representation of the community of La Prairie des Femmes.
