Odyssée acadienne
Malgré les déportations des années 1750 et 1760, de nombreux Acadiens revinrent d'exil et d'autres quittèrent leur refuge pour se réinstaller sur leur terre natale. S'armant de courage et de détermination, ils fondèrent de nouveaux établissements dans des régions isolées des maritimes et restaurèrent progressivement leurs institutions sociales et culturelles. De nombreux dirigeants acadiens reçurent leur formation au collège Saint-Joseph, fondé en 1864, et des milliers d'Acadiens assistèrent ici, en 1881, à leur première convention nationale, qui contribua à consolider leur sentiment d'identité.
Acadian Odyssey
Despite the deportations of the 1750s and 1760s, many Acadians returned from exile and others came out of hiding to resume their former way of life. With fortitude and determination they created new settlements in isolated parts of the maritimes and gradually re-established their own social and cultural institutions. Many Acadian leaders were educated here at Collège Saint-Joseph, founded in 1864. On this site in 1881 was held the first Acadian National Convention which brought thousands of Acadians together for the first time and helped to strengthen their sense of identity.
