Comprehensive visual guide to L'Acadie, November 3, 1999
This review is from: Acadia (CD-ROM)
For those of us in Nouveau Acadia (Louisiana), this CD-ROM features a fantastic virtual tour of L'Acadie (Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritime Provinces), both past and present. Acadian music, dance, food, culture and history are but a few of the subjects this comprehensive guides offers in both English and French. My personal favorites were the virtual explanation of the Acadian dykes, showing how these ingenious dams reclaimed marshlands from the massive tides of Minas Basin; video footage of Acadian dance; audiotapes of traditional Acadian songs and the extensive historical explanation of where the Acadians were sent after being exiled by the English beginning in 1755. For those we want the whole picture of Acadian culture, this CD-ROM is a must. I heartily recommend it.
