There is an old apocryphal legend they received the moniker at Chalmette 8 January 1815 from a comment by General Jackson. Could well be but was told it originally came from the District in France that the French came from while in Nova Scotia before the exile down to the Louisiana country. Probably so! Never been able to very the other story nor did I find it very credible.

Whatever they are called, they sure do talk funny. One year, early '70's Crowley Maritime hired a couple shallow draft tug skippers from down there, Morgan City maybe, to run push tugs and lighter barges at Prudhoe Bay Sealift.....honestly the finest small boat/barge handlers we'd ever seen. But, they didn't get invited back in following years. Nobody could understand them on the radio, causing confusion, hull damage and high blood pressure.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Part black, part French Cajun. Creole is different than Coonass. DF Yep. French, Black and Indian. A society unto themselves and a proud one. I never realized how many “Indians” Louisiana had until the Casinos started opening up.

They do know boats and water, but live in their own world, for sure. DF

Ol' Boudreaux been fishin' down by de bayou all day an he done run outta night crawlers.He 'bout reddy to leave when he seen a snake wit a big frog in his mouf. He knowed dat dem big bass fish like frogs, so he decided to steal dat froggie. Dat snake, he a cotton moufed water moccasin so he had to be real careful or he'd git bit. He snuk up de behine de snake and grabbed him roun de haid Dat ole snake din't lak dat one bit. He squirmed and wrapped hisself roun Boudreaux's arm tryin' to get hisself free. But Boudreaux, him had a real good grip on his haid, yeh. Well, Boudreaux pried his mouf open and got de frog and puts it in his bait can.
Now, Boudreaux knows dat he cain't let go dat snake or he's gonna bite him good, but he has a plan. He reach into de back pocket of his overhauls and pulls out a pint a moonshine likker. He pour some drops into de snake's mouf. Well, dat snake's eyeballs roll back in his haid and his body go limp Wit dat, Boudreaux toss dat snake into de bayou. Den he goes back to fishin'.
A while later Boudreaux feel sumpin tappin' on his barefoot toe.He slowly look down and dare wuz dat water moccasin wit two more frogs

I never realized how many “Indians” Louisiana had until the Casinos started opening up. Have you ever been to the Tunica museum at Marksville? The Tunica sites were the largest find of French colonial trade goods to date. Knew a kid out of Natchitoches who’s uncle did lots of digging there in the 50’s. He had some pretty awesome stuff before Yale univ. and the Peabody museum moved in after the BIG find.

There’s also the mounds in Livonia, Louisiana and the mounds at LSU right across from the Field House. The history of Poverty Point is a deep one.

I was down in Baton Rouge at a truck stop. I had heard this word "coon ass" and it sounded like an insult to me. There was a little Cajun gal there at the desk. I said to her "Do you consider the word coon ass to be an insult?" She said "No, not at all."
I said "If I called you a coon ass right now would you be offended?" She said "No it is not an insult."

LOL! He’ll probably be along in a minute. Poverty point stones are MOST intriguing !

North LA and south LA are like two brothers that enjoy one another's company but are pretty much nothing at all alike. It's Coonasses and Rednecks, but we get along. Different world down in deep south LA.
Now with even more aplomb
